On Your Anniversary

My little gift for two special people – my heaven on earth.

To marry a friend

 

It’s one thing to get married.

And quite another, to fall in love.

But to fall in love with, and marry a friend,

Is a gift from heaven above.

I adore leafing through that album with you,

Of a wedding, many years ago.

Pageboys, groomsmen, the father of the bride

And two bridesmaids, pretty in pale yellow.

The bride and groom, I love the most,

How tenderly they smile and hold hands.

They dance together, lost to each other,

As ‘Tonight I celebrate my love’ sings the band.

It’s one thing to get married.

And quite another, to fall in love.

But to fall in love with, and marry a friend,

Is a gift from heaven above.

I’ve watched you both and learned so much,

So many life lessons through the years.

To never lose faith, to pray from my heart

And to always look beyond the tears.

So today, my angels, I thank you.

For all the little things I love and treasure.

For our breakfast dinners and goodnight kisses

And advice that I cherish beyond measure.

For your firm, but gentle shoulder to cry on,

your ever ready hanky for my runny nose,

for helping me choose the right outfit to wear,

for tucking the warm blanket under my toes.

God bless you both, today and always,

With your love, so honest and true,

And may He bless the rest of us,

With a love story of best friends,

as magical as the one

He wrote especially for you.

Happy Anniversary my loves.

There was never a luckier girl than me. Thank you for all you are and all you do.

You make your corner bright with your love – your lives are a constant reminder to me that there is always hope, laughter, love and friendship in our little world. Thank you for teaching me to dream.

We love you very much! Have a fabulous 31st anniversary.
