Sonnet 6 — Beyond the Nice Catch

I fell in love when I was still in school,
She was so pretty, with the brains to match,
She knew her charm, her wit, her easy rule,
And all the boys declared her a fine catch.

But I beheld her not as prize or game,
For me she was the meaning of my life,
The one I longed to guard from grief or shame,
The one I dreamed would one day be my wife.

Yet love is more than beauty’s fleeting flame,
It tests the heart when trials cloud the sky;
Through storms we learn what bonds can truly claim,
And prove that passion’s roots run deep, not dry.

At last, we planned to tie our lives as one,
A vow enduring till our days are done.
