I do hope that this anniversary is our best ever,
because I've never really expressed just how wonderful you are,
but if my love for you were a distance,
then it would be further than the furthest star.
You gave me the courage to follow in your steps,
and at the end of day, that?s the greatest gift of all,
as Dad, because of you I walk taller,
in fact, I feel like I?m ten feel tall!
(NAME) had numerous stories about her childhood,
the farm, walking to school and having the first Model T,
and I remember as a child myself, trips to Aunt (NAME),
we'd play with the cousins (and that was a great place to be).
And you worked long and hard all your life,
you made a great success out of Gotofast,
and I?m so sorry that you and Mom separated,
but I guess some things are not meant to last.
What a happy anniversary
I think of our honeymoon and I always grin,
in truth, a great big smile breaks across my face,
5 days, you, glorious weather, whale watching, seafood,
you see, you've made my world such a wonderful place.
You're truly great at everything you do,
and you're a fantastic person to be around,
it's marvelous to be living my life with you,
my love for you simply knows no limit, no abound.
And we just wanted to say Happy 25th Anniversary,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you Mom and Dad, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to at least, another twenty five more.
You're always been a great support when I need you,
you've helped me face my dragons (and we've won),
your love has been my inspiration, my light,
in every way, you've been like my morning sun.
You're so strong in your convictions,
you're a member of National Honor Society,
and we just wanted to thank you for being you,
you've made our world's a great place to be.
Because I've tried to take very good care of you,
and in return, you've taken very good care of me,
just know that I am totally devoted to you,
you've made my world a great place to be.
I appreciate having you close by to ask advice,
and for the record, you?re great to spend time with,
and this feels like the longest you?ve ever been away,
and now I?m struggling, I?m struggling to live.
You're truly great at everything you do,
and you're a fantastic person to be around,
it's marvelous to be living my life with you,
my love for you simply knows no limit, no abound.
Hey, Dad, I know, at times, life can be great,
and then at others, it can be quite cruel and unkind,
and because of your recent battles,
well, they?ve brought quite a few things to mind.
Because you have persistently and consistently loved us,
and it seems like 'you' is always the last thing on your mind,
you have this wonderful gift of being able to inspire,
and we know that's a treasure and so very hard to find.
I wouldn't trade you for anything in the world,
all the tea in China or all the fishes in the sea,
because I love you so very, very much,
you've made my world a great place to be.
I also wanted to say Happy 1st Anniversary,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, <NAME>, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
Because our love will be everlasting,
it?s something that is eternal and will last forever,
and that gives my soul great comfort,
I know that we'll always be together.
I couldn't imagine my world without you,
and you've certainly made that world a great place to be,
and no matter how busy I get in my daily dealings,
I always remember just how much you really mean to me.
You had each other, then you had me,
and now together, we have everything,
and I'm so looking forward to our future,
and to the great times that it'll bring.
And we just wanted to say Happy 50th Anniversary,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, Mom and Dad, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to at least another fifty more.
And I know your father wasn?t quite like that,
in truth, he never killed the dragon that lived inside,
but from selling newspapers, to the Vietnam war,
I know that you have been a great source of pride.
You are the greatest gift on earth,
in fact, a gift from God above,
and now I know the meaning of marriage,
and now I know the meaning of true love.
It was peaches and cream on many Labor Day's,
but my! Look at how her mighty tree has grown,
two daughters and six grandchildren, seven great grandchildren
we're all very grateful for the love that she's shown.
You're great with the kids and you care for us all,
and I know as children go, I am like the third,
but when you said "I do" on our wedding day,
well, they were the sweetest words I've ever heard.
I remember the Campari ads;
"drink this and have a great time",
"drink this and be beautiful",
"drink this if you need a rhyme".
You lead at home as well as in the business,
and that leadership has always brightly shone,
so just know that I love you very much,
and our great times together are not done and gone.
I'd also like to say Happy 10th Anniversary,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME)(NAME), you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
We will love and support you always,
we'll pick you up if you happen to scrape your knee,
but in the meantime, we just wanted to say Happy Graduation,
and thanks (NAME), you make the world a great place to be.
anniversary gift great idea
