We love, we listen, we understand one another,
and we never take an argument to bed
and I know that, just over twenty years ago,
"I do" were the finest words I ever said.
You love those old black and white movies,
and from Cleveland, you've travelled afar,
and I think our wedding song was simply perfect,
because you are loved: "Just the way you are"
And that moment is upon us,
after all, 50 years, Mom and Dad were wed,
and we've got some thoughts on our mind,
yes, there's some heartfelt words that need to be said.
Even after three years, I'm absolutely crazy about you,
but I really miss you on those fishing weekends,
I still get a pain in my heart when I know you're going away,
but look, I don't want to spoil your "passion" time, with your friends.
And we've recently celebrated twenty years,
and it's been twenty years of wedded bliss,
and people have asked me what's our secret,
and I answer them; "it's as simple as this".
They say that marriage can be hard,
and the first years are the hardest of all,
but ours have been simply wonderful,
with you I feel about ten feet tall.
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.
So, I have learned to try and not show it too much,
however, when you leave, I have to fight back the tears,
and I sit there waiting for you to call (which you always do),
let me tell you, some of those weekends last for years.
Those six years were very tough,
but that's just when the tough got going,
and you showed Dad all of your love,
and gee, you did a lot of showing !
You've been awarded the Peace Prize three years running,
there's not a more deserving cause on planet Earth,
and we, for two, know your true and honest value,
yes, we know exactly what our daughter's really worth.
We've been apart since our wedding,
a cold wintry morning on (DATE)
but it's only our jobs and circumstance that could separate us,
because only with you, my world's a better place to be.
Mind you, Dad worked at his Kraft for 45 years,
and at his retirement party, he received many an accolade,
all his colleagues just wanted to thank him,
but we too wanted to thank him for the role that he's played.
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!
Now, we have only been together for a little over 3 years,
I guess we met relatively late on in life,
but <NAME>, I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you,
I'm very proud and honored to be called your wife.
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 three years older than me, I like that,
and you're about 5'6, with beautiful big brown eyes,
you've a stunning body, a flat stomach, a beautiful ass,
although I guess this should come as no surprise.
And that moment is upon us,
after all, 80 years ago, it was (NAME) birth day,
and I've got some thoughts on my mind,
yes, I do have some heartfelt words to say:
What a happy anniversary
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.
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.
94 wonderful years full of hard work, fun and excitement,
Vivian was the last of her generation and truly loved by all,
she celebrated life and taught us all to do the same,
and to pick yourself up whenever you stumble or fall.
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'll never forget our beautiful, so perfect wedding,
I don't remember ever feeling as happy as I did on that day,
I will never forget the way you looked at me as you spoke,
your eyes said everything that you needed to say.
You own a spa, massages, facials, make up,
personal training, you know, that sort of thing,
but there's something missing in your life,
even though you're wearing that wedding ring.
We were together for seven years, married for two,
and we were trying to start our own family,
and I know you really wanted to be a Dad,
it's so unfair, I guess it was just not meant to be.
