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.
I know we have roach problems in the summer,
in the winter we can see our breath in the shower,
and year round, having hot water is a crap shoot,
and we can get a cold drenching at any hour.
And I'm sorry, but there's no chocolates this year,
instead, just my simple but undying words of love,
because I know that I've been blessed to have shared you,
I know that I've been blessed by the heavens above.
We have a 29 year difference in our age
but that has not stopped us from enjoying each other,
you're my best friend, my confidant,
you're my husband and yes, my lover.
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.
But I also wanted to say Happy 5th 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 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.
She loved the Lord and shared that gift with us all,
she had a big heart and taught us all how to give,
she was always thinking of and doing for others,
in truth, I think she taught us all how to live.
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!
Last year I searched so many stores,
in truth, I searched long and hard, high and low,
but I ended up giving you chocolates and a card,
and now there are some things you need to know.
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.
I also wanted to say Happy 1st Anniversary,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, my heartfelt (NAME), you're wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
Because I also wanted to say "Happy Anniversary",
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
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.
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.
What a happy anniversary
But despite all that, we fell madly in love,
and on New Year's Eve I happily said "yes",
fireworks, sleet, a masked ball, dancing,
how could I say "no" to a lifetime of happiness?
She loved the Lord and shared that gift with us all,
she had a big heart and taught us all how to give,
she was always thinking of and doing for others,
in truth, I think she taught us all how to live.
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.
Now you're in your 59th year of marriage to (NAME),
and together, you've worked at your family dream,
and now, with two sons and six grandchildren later,
we're very grateful you're such a wonderful team.
