The Best Thing I’ve Ever Done

I forget how it happened,
was a kneeling?
Doesn’t matter.

It wasn’t a surprise.
She picked it out.
Had no doubt I was going
to get it.

While it is true
that many other details
around this event
have faded
over the years,

I do remember,
that though there was
no surprise surrounding
this event,
she had tears in her eyes
when she held the ring.

I made her happy…
I think that’s got to be
the most right
and best thing
I’ve ever done
in my life.
