And I know we complained a bit at the time,
but working in the school holidays made us realize,
and those days have formed the basis of my work ethic today,
although I guess by now, this comes as no surprise.
Firstly, I?d like to begin to begin by looking skywards,
and thanking those in the heavens above,
because I know I?ve been blessed to have shared you,
I know that I?ve been blessed with your love.
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.
You did everything for me and you were happy to do it,
but your overwhelming generosity had no ends,
because you would do anything for anybody,
and you're missed by many loyal and trusted friends.
Firstly, I think we'll begin by looking skywards,
and thanking those in the heavens above,
because we know we've been blessed to have shared you,
we know that we've been blessed with your love.
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.
Because I know you felt betrayed by those you trusted,
but now I am glad, you've finally awoke from that haze,
and I know you're enjoying your many new projects,
so I foresee, for us, only the happiest of days.
When I was a little girl,
I always dreamed of this day,
I knew the words off by heart,
I knew exactly what I would say.
Firstly, I'd like to begin by looking skywards,
and thanking those in the heavens above,
because I know I've been blessed to have shared you,
I know that I've been blessed with your love.
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.
I'd like to begin by saying thank you,
the last 9 months have been my best ever,
we've sort of got to know each other quite well,
after all we were sort of in this together.
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.
And I?ve never felt prouder marching by your side,
and I?ve worn your dog tags every day since then,
and if you ever ask me to march with you,
I?ll say, without hesitation, ?yes, where and when?.
And I miss our little chats by the BBQ,
and I miss bringing you a glass of red wine,
but I know we?ve built this deep bond of trust,
and that will last beyond the very last line.
You see, my love for you is an eternal ocean,
it's a deep, passionate and long lasting love,
and I know I've been blessed to have shared you,
in truth, I've been blessed by the heavens above.
We just can't understand why you were taken from us,
but I guess in the end, you had to answer God's call,
He obviously had a greater purpose for you up there,
although what you achieved on Earth was by no means small.
And never with recriminations or ?I told you so?,
you just gave me your unconditional support, your love,
and I know I?ve been blessed to have shared you,
know that I?ve been blessed by the heavens above.
So I think we should begin by looking upwards,
and thanking those in the heavens above,
because we both know we're blessed to have shared you,
we know that we've been blessed with your love.
What a happy anniversary
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.
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 I know that He keeps you safe on the road,
and there's many seniors that you've driven all around,
you're appreciated by many, especially this family,
we know that it's a pure and precious gem that we've found.
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.
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.
