Because several months ago, I started thinking,
and I started to compile what is quite a list,
because I wanted you to know why I love you,
and I don't think there's one thing that I've missed.
Watch out for that lunchtime drink,
it will take your sweet breath away,
and when you've had one too many,
it's so very hard (hic) to have your say.
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've always been such a kind and generous man,
you've helped many people when they've had difficult times,
and I just wanted to thank you for being you,
you are the one that has put the reason in these rhymes.
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"
But you made many sacrifices for our educations,
because you wanted to give us the very best of starts,
and of all the 52 cards in any one pack,
we?re very lucky, we drew the Kings of Hearts.
I could go on but the major point I want to stress is this:
I love you with every fiber of my being, my very soul,
for <NAME>, with you in my life I feel complete,
yes, you are the one that makes me completely whole.
I hope you know by now that you're my one and only,
in truth, I simply love you with all my heart and soul,
for with you in my life, I feel so complete,
yes, you do make me feel so completely whole.
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.
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.
What a happy anniversary
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.
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.
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.
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!
What a really stupid saying:
"Let's have one more for the road",
take a life when you've been drinking,
and you'll never repay what is owed.
Even though you've lost the love of your life,
(and this is one of those meaningful rhymes),
The Lord will give you all of His strength,
to get you through your more difficult times.
Because it's normally you that calls me up,
yet you don't normally want us to get together,
you say you feel guilty about cheating and all that,
but I'm the one who's reaching the end of his tether.
Because you have shown me what love is for,
and the love that two people can have for one another,
you have shown me how to be a devoted wife,
and of course, how to be a wonderful mother.
I don't know how we are going to continue without you,
so I'm going to carry you here with me, in my soul,
for with you in my life, I did feel complete,
yes (NAME), you are the one that makes me completely whole.
And did you know that when you left home,
well, I cried me a river for some days,
it felt like I was all alone, center stage,
it felt like I was starring in one of those tragic plays.
You?ve always been an incredibly honest person,
and honesty has been just one of the lessons that you?ve taught,
but you?ve always been there for both of us,
so we?d like to thank you for your unconditional support.
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.
Everyone that knew you, loved you,
and you got the most out of each and every day,
even after working such long hours you wanted more,
and that one line leaves so much left to say:
anniversary gift idea one wedding year
