She fondly remembers the day he proposed to her…
how her heart he won…
When he started listing all the things…
things he’d never done

“I’ve never seen the Taj Mahal” he said, “I’ve never been on skis.”
“I’ve never ridden a ferris wheel…I’ve never sailed the seven seas.”

“I’ve never climbed a mountain…I’m not sure I’d know how.”
“I’ve never eaten Lucky Charms…never milked a cow.”

“I’ve never been to the Grand Canyon…never owned a parakeet.”
“I’ve never ridden a camel…I’ve never eaten beets.”

“I’ve never been on the Golden Gate Bridge…never seen a crocodile.”
“I’ve never watched a 3D movie…never ran a mile.”

“I’ve never seen a desert.”…here she interrupted him saying, “Let me stop you if I may...
what are you trying to tell me…what are you trying to say?”

“What am I trying to say?” he answered…as he got down on one knee
“I’m trying hard to ask you…if you will marry me.”

“But why list all these things you’ve never done, she asked…
that’s a funny thing to do?”
“Because there are so many things I’ve never done,” he said…
that I want to do with you.”

And they have spent their life together…
together….having fun…
And now they fondly look back together…
at all the things that they have done.
