As I think of her
I think of dew drops
Delicate
Butterfly wings
Like gossamer
A spider web
Fragile
And willowy
Flower petals
Tender
And soft
The finest-spun muslin
Subtle
And rarefied
Before I entreat her
To entrust me
As guardian of her heart
Am I sure I am worthy
And capable of holding it gently enough
Can I tend to it benignly
Can I fulfill its desires
Am I compassionate enough
Can I nurture it with happiness always
For it is her life
More than her hand
That I will be asking for
And living my dream
Demands duty of me

If more people realized this, we’d have a lot fewer relationships/marriages breaking up. Beautifully stated.

A responsibility is an odd way to look at it but I suppose it makes sense. Very respectful actually.

Can you suggest a better word, if you’ve got the essence of what I was trying to say? Seriously. I could edit it…

I’m not really sure. Responsibility does kind of make it seem like a business transaction. Duty is better but still not great. Anyway. I wouldn’t worry about it. The sentiment came across. Very sweet.
