A year together

Once a year we mark the date
From when we first met
And decided our fate

Each year, each day, every single hour
I'm grateful for you
So unlike any other

On this special day
I thank the stars
Only with you could I come so far

I'm thankful we can spend our lives
With me as your husband
And you as my wife

While your anniversary is an important time to look back and reflect on what you have achieved, it is also a great opportunity to plan for the future. Everyone has dreams, some we reach for alone, and some are dreams we plan with our partner. When you have the support of someone you love anything seems possible.

The future

As far as I can see stars
I can see our future written in the sky

I stand here with you in my arms
And know there is not one single reason why

That we cannot reach our dreams
However unlikely they once seemed

On what we have dreamed apart
We can now make a start

Our hearts moulded together
In this great love

A poem for a couple

Nothing is sweeter than first love
Watching it blossom and bloom
Other time both lovers will grow
And in turn their hearts make room

They both take a sip from the wedding cup
With hands held and hearts that are fused
They have learned that love is more than luck
On the path of marriage that they choose

In love there is no such thing as first sight
Instead it needs time to be proved
The laughter you share and the heartache you face
Is the true test of a groom and bride

First love passes quickly
And wedding bells may fade
Over the course of a life time together
A true marriage is made
