Woo me with a poem!

Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And Summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal Summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owe'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Sonnet XVIII

Patrick memorized and recited this to me on one of our very first dates. ::Sigh:: SO romantic! We have decided to incorporate the sonnets in our wedding reception since they mean so much to us as a couple.

I'll keep you posted on how!

Best,

Micah
