Happy 25th Anniversary

Today marks the 25th year of our marriage. Although 25th years may seem like a short time to others. But nevertheless- love is not measure by a period of time, but in timeless moments. And our 25th years have been the wondrous and blessing years to be glad. Darling, we score more than others did! A few milestones down and many more to beat... LOL! Sure we can! To reminiscing on how this day started its beginning of infinity, Darling your smile is forever the light of my heart my soul. The joy of all the ups and downs we've had that made us even more appreciative and love deeper- for those we are very grateful! Year after year we're making more memories that are priceless and so precious we'll treasure them to infinite length- for those are the treasures to our hearts! May we continue always, to take time and pursue each other to understand one's need And may we continue to fulfill our dreams to a length of time. Darling, thank you a thousand times for being my champion of heart, My soulmate I love you beyond words can express but you already know- "Forever is how long I love you!" Happy 25th year anniversary darling... A friend asked me to write her a poem to her husband of 25th years of marriage. She loved it and told me I should post it here on PS...

At last I managed to find a poem of yours which had escaped my attention before, Akkina:) I hope that when it's your turn to celebrate 25 yrs of marriage you'll write an equally lovely and heartfelt poem!:) ~ Smiles & hugs // paul

Soon to be the month of LOVE (even tho ever day we share with God and others it's always Love, if we allow). Just like the other verse I read of yours today, simply beautiful. (Need a part time job as a writer for "Hallmark") Loving piece thanks for creating and sharing. James :)
