A Lifetime Together

How quickly the time has passed
since the day you became my wife.
After all this time it feels as though
we’ve been together all of my life.
They have been mostly good years
the difficulties have been few.
And the best thing I have ever done
is to fall in love with you. 

Now we have reached a special time
a celebration of a lifetime together.
We just want our life and love
 to go on and just last forever.
You know how much I love you
and what you mean to me.   
So I just want to wish you now   
a happy anniversary.
