Engagement rings are golden
Rings that recollect that sweet
Courtship that was full of glamour
Rings binding two hearts forming one
Today as it glitters under the sun
Reflecting a perfect harmony
Harmonious like their hearts
Chained by fate and destined by
Love that got established in their
Hearts gently and slowly like the
Growth of the moss always unnoticed
Yet always there so unique in status
Let this ring jingle with truth
Ever always ringing a bell into
The ears that often have become
Deafened by things of this world
Today engagements are by mouth
Divorce has become so fashionable
Throwing into the dump can of history
Some couples only become engaged
For public consumption without any
Goals set out to be achieved as a couple
It is never the Karats of diamond or gold
That give the weight of an engagement ring
It is the purity of the heart and its intention
Remember your engagement promises
Vows that are pronounced for each other
Making engagements to one another in love
