    The moments shared, pure delight.
    Through every milestone, joy, and tear,
    Your love has made each step so clear.

  9. For My Wife

    Poet Unknown

    It's not enough to wish you
    Happy Anniversary, Dear
    For there are many other things
    That you've a right to hear -

    For instance, that you're wonderful,
    For instance, that you're sweet,
    For instance, that you've done so much
    To make my life complete.

    And, Dear, you know it's coming
    From my heart when I express
    My one enduring wish for you -
    A wish for happiness.



  10. An Anniversary Wish

    Poet: Grinnell Willis

    May ever the golden blessing
    Be yours, and ne'er depart,
    And the love of friends who have been so true,
    Who are present now to rejoice with you,
    Be found in every heart.



  11. Marriage Hymn

    Poet: Caleb Davis Bradlee

    Two, Lord, at thine altar wait,
    A blessing to receive;
    Humbly they would unite their fate,
    If thou wilt give them leave.

    Their hands they join, their hearts they blend,
    One journey now they take;
    They pray their love may have no end,
    They ask it for Christ's sake.



  12. Full Of Memories

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    Before you know it an anniversary arrives,
    Full of memories, where meaning thrives.
    A marker in time, memories of roads we did tread,
    We remember the joys and the tears we've shed.

    We look back and we look forward to what we face
    Celebrating the journey, every joyous trace.
    For on this day, we honor with might,
    And celebrate this anniversary with sheer delight.



  13. For on this day, we honor with might, And celebrate this anniversary with sheer delight.
    Short Love Poems



  14. Sunshine And Storms

    Poet: Sarah A. Thomas

    Twelve years of sunshine and of storms
    Since first our lives were joined in one;
    But had the sky no threatening clouds,
    We would forget to prize the sun.
    With life one joyous summer-day,
    And, gliding down life's quiet stream,
    We would not note our rapid flight
    Were there no landmarks by the way.
