Happy Anniversary

You nervously stood there to start a new life,
A journey together as a man and his wife.
Expectations of love and passion within,
Now, years later, you would do it all over again.

You still walk hand-in-hand through the years,
Forging new memories with laughter and tears.
Growing closer through everything you share,
Always taking the time to show that you care.

You have each other when the winds are cold,
You'll rock together someday when you'll grown old.
You never let anger block the right way,
You stand strong together and survive each day.

You still have the passion that started a fire,
Even illness has not dampened your heart's desire.
You both knew you shared a bond that was real,
You're never afraid to express how you feel.

Happy Anniversary to you on this special day,
May you celebrate it in the very best way.
Good wishes and love are headed to you,
As you remember the day you said, "I do."

Love,
Dianna Doles Petry
