But life is what it is,
very few have mastered the art,
and all I'll ever ask you,
is please, just follow your heart.

Hand In Hand

On this your very special birthday,
(and I don't really know where to start),
but I thought it would be timely,
to share a few words from my heart.

You see, I love you so very, very much,
and I love just who you are,
and if my love for you were a distance to be traveled,
then it would be further than the furthest star.

Now I know that things aren't perfect,
but life isn't a rose tinted dream,
I know that you and I belong together,
because we truly are a magical team.

We'll make our memories together,
as memories have been made before,
because I am going to love you forever,
today, tomorrow and for evermore.

Because what we have is special,
and I know what "not special" is like, I suppose,
you have lifted me out of my valley,
and carried me up to where true love grows.

Just know that I love you very much,
and I'm looking forward to a lifetime together,
but there's one thing that's been on my mind:
Will you still call me "Baby" forever?

Remember the time at the Ocean?
We stayed up all night and watched the sunrise,
we walked hand in hand along the beach,
together, united, I guess it was no surprise.

One engagement, a wedding and a new home,
treasured memories I will always hold dear,
but I guess you could call it eventful,
because it all happened in just the one year.

I'll never forget Martha's Vineyard,
although the guest list didn't take that long to get through,
but you made me the happiest woman in the world,
from that precious moment you said "I do".

And I'd just like to say thank you,
thanks for always being there,
thanks for being a wonderful husband and father,
and thanks for showing that you truly care.

For no matter what obstacles come our way,
divided we fall, united we stand,
and we'll walk together towards our sunset,
heart in heart, soul in soul, hand in hand.

So I guess that this wasn't that bad,
considering I didn't know where to start,
just know that I love you,
Happy <Number> Birthday, Sweetheart.

From The Day I Met You

From the day I met you, I knew,
I knew here was happiness for the rest of my life,
I knew that I'd love you forever and ever,
I knew that one day, today, I'd be your wife.

You see, no one has completed me like you,
and I do love you with all my heart and soul,
for with you in my life, I feel complete,
you are the one that makes me completely whole.

You're emotionally mature, spiritually enlightened,
you're funny, caring, loving and oh so kind,
you're passionate, compassionate and unconditional,
and I know that a love like ours is so hard to find.

Actually, I could go on and on and on,
because truly, you're the greatest man I've ever met,
and although we've shared so many wonderful times,
as the saying goes: "You ain't seen nothing yet".

I believe we have known each other before now,
and that's why we've chosen our paths together,
a journey that was started so long ago,
a journey that's destined to last forever and ever.

You accept me for who I am,
and I've never said just how wonderful you are,
but if my love for you were a distance,
then it would be further than the furthest star.

I love the way that you accept my emotional baggage,
but I must admit, you've lightened my load,
and I think it's funny you're such a terrible driver,
I'm getting used to shouting "Get out of the road!".

Actually, you have a wicked sense of humor,
but you also have a brain that likes to forget,
and when we can stop laughing we call each other "schmucko",
I scmucko, take you schmucko...hang on, not yet!

Because we've shared so many great times,
precious memories, that I'll always treasure and keep,
like the time at <Place> we ate in the room,
very romantic, (too much wine and we fell asleep).

I'll never forget our engagement dinner,
but your proposal got delayed by my surprise,
so you proposed to me at <Number> am in the morning,
of course I said "yes" (after I'd wiped the sleep from my eyes).

And I know that <Name> loves you too,
in fact, I'm a little worried about being traded in,
but Mi Mom, I know I've been blessed to have met you,
you've taught me to smile, laugh, chortle and grin.

And <Name> and <Name> are here with us today,
because their spirit lives on, inside of us all,
and I know you wish I could have met <Name>,
but it's OK, she had to answer God's call.

And I also know that we have their blessings,
and that is something I know here, deep inside,
because they too know I couldn't have picked a finer husband,
they know I couldn't - even if I'd tried.

And from the day that I met you,
I knew that I'd been blessed by the heavens above,
I knew I'd be standing here before you,
I knew that I'd promise you my eternal love.

We went on the Kentucky trip,
and we've told each other just everything,
we've shopped and lunched together,
you were the first I told about the engagement ring.

And we'd just like to thank them,
from the very bottom of our hearts,
because they've mastered the art of parenthood,
and that truly is one of the finer arts.

You?re patient, calm and caring,
an extremely competent cook, dressmaker and designer,
and your Chinese water colors are magnificent,
as art goes, I can think of nothing finer.

So the next time you're working out,
or at your martial art,
just think of the times that we had,
just think of my broken heart.

And the park in front of (place),
was a great place to play or fly a kite,
it's where we learnt our early skills
and it's where we learnt the art of flight.

I remember when we sat in the (PLACE),
and pretended to be a piece of Portland Art,
we've snow-shoed at (PLACE), danced at (PLACE),
and when we run I always give you a head start.

Only three years ago,
we were looking at engagement rings,
but I just got scared and ran,
afraid of the commitment that jewellery brings.

And from our engagement to our wonderful wedding,
well, I guess that?s for another story to be told,
because I know we?ll share many more magical moments,
because (NAME)., it?s with you I?m going to get gray and old.

I'll never forget our engagement dinner,
but your proposal got delayed by my surprise,
so you proposed to me at 3 am in the morning,
of course I said "yes" (after I'd wiped the sleep from my eyes).

August Moon

Hello, my wonderful <Name>,
I'm so glad that we're standing here today,
because I wanted to tell you a few things,
yes, I have some heartfelt words to say.

Firstly, I wanted to say I love you very much,
you're everything I've dreamed of (and more),
and I wanted to express my love for you,
that's really what these words are for.

Our story started under an August Moon,
the restaurant where we had our very first date,
so it's fitting that August is here once again,
and that I've found my one and only soul-mate.

I love your sarcasm, your playfulness,
and your cooking is something I'd always choose,
you are an expert on any computer,
and yes, I even love your dancing shoes.

I remember when we sat in the Blue Room,
and pretended to be a piece of Portland Art,
we've snow-shoed at White River, danced at Lola's,
and when we run I always give you a head start.

I know I pretend to get angry,
especially when you go and run too fast,
and I know I say I'll never speak to you again,
but like my spurts, those words never last.

We love to eat at Thai Thai and Papaya Thai,
and tantrums get me to The Spaghetti Factory,
we play battleships, have road trips to Montana,
and at the Alibi, we're signing Karaoke.

Crunchy crab rolls at the Dragonfish,
even the sound of it sounds rather nice,
and I know that you're allergic to cats,
so playing with Cousteau certainly has it's price.

And I think that's what I like about our relationship,
never too serious, but there's depth and devotion, side by side,
and I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you,
and yes, I'm very honored to be your bride.

And I'd like to thank that August Moon,
and tonight I'll look to and thank the heavens above,
because I know I've found my happiness,
I've found you, my one and only true love.

And we know God was proud of His work,
and He too, didn't want to spend anymore time apart,
because beauty is always in the eye of the beholder,
and (NAME) was truly beautiful, His work of art.

Happy engagement Mother,
I want to say it aloud,
I want to tell the world,
let them know that I'm proud.

One engagement, a wedding and a new home,
treasured memories I will always hold dear,
but I guess you could call it eventful,
because it all happened in just the one year.

I love to go tap dancing with you,
even though I wasn't that keen to start,
but you know the art of gentle persuasion,
and with you it's a very fine art!

Now, it's nice that (NICK NAME) has found her (NICK NAME),
because together, we'll paint a little modern art,
and I know ours will be a journey of a lifetime,
because truly, we're joined at the soul, our very heart.

She is so very dependable,
and she's smart, smart and very smart,
she's earned respect from her peers and bosses,
she's made working into a work of art !
