You're great with the kids and you care for us all,
and I know as children go, I am like the third,
but when you said "I do" on our wedding day,
well, they were the sweetest words I've ever heard.
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"
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.
(NAME) had numerous stories about her childhood,
the farm, walking to school and having the first Model T,
and I remember as a child myself, trips to Aunt (NAME),
we'd play with the cousins (and that was a great place to be).
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.
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.

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 know we haven't spent that much time together,
but absence only makes this heart grow fonder,
and from the very first day, I knew you were simply wonderful,
I knew then, I no longer wanted to wander.
I also can't believe the depth of feeling I have for you,
truly, it would reach to the bottom of the deepest sea,
and I'll never forget the our first date with your hand on my back,
what ran through me I can only describe as electricity.
I am more comfortable with you than with anyone else,
you are my princess, you are my dream,
and after our first year together, it's wonderful,
we've proved to the World we truly are a team.
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.
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.
Not that you had to ask me the first time,
because it was innate, we simply just knew,
there was no proposal, no rings, just us,
and that's the hyphenated us, me-and-you.
Although my first husband was a very good man,
and truly, we had many good times together,
but I know I've never felt this way before,
because what we share will last forever and ever.
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.
(NAME) is the first date to actually become a part of the family,
and thankfully, we don't just see him on the holidays,
it is quite apparent that he loves (NAME) very much,
and of course, I hope that's the way it always stays.
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.
I'm proud to be your "favourite" first grandchild,
and that's what you tell everyone I know,
you then go into detail what I did as a child,
I guess you've always been proud watching me grow.
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.
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, my heartfelt (NAME), you're 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.
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.
What a happy anniversary
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'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.
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.
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!
