Richard Lamoureux Poet Quatrain

Happy Anniversary Sweetie

Twenty one years and counting
I'm blessed to be with you dear
No better place in the world
Than being with you right here

From the first day I met you
My soul was finally set free
I couldn't believe an angel
Was meant as a gift for me

Plans had been set in motion
Orchestrated by God's hand
The shifting of time and space
We heeded our Lord's command

Love would not be possible
Without complicated plan
Our worlds had been far apart
Until I became your man

Moments they became hours
Until they turned into years
I've been gifted with true joy
You have wiped away my tears

Being with you is easy
I look forward to each day
Interesting conversations
I love the way that we play

You are my fountain of youth
An elixir for my soul
I'm thankful to be with you
With you sweetie I am whole

Happy Anniversary my love.
Thanks for the best years of my life.
