25th Anniversary

Silver

It's been 25 years
The silver's here for us
I can't believe the time has passed
The magic, love and trust

Sure, there've been hard times
We've had our share of struggles
We've cried for loved ones who we've lost
And overcome family troubles

No one person is ever perfect
But you are perfect to me
No relationship fulfils our every need
But I choose you for my reality

Love and honour; trust and friendship
These are words that guide our way
I know that we'll walk side by side
Until our end of days

We may be celebrating our silver anniversary
But this doesn't mean we've won
Every marriage is a sacred union
We bloom like flowers in the sun

But balance and commitment
Remain strong keys for each and every year
For sun and rain have to happen 
For us to overcome our fears

And bit by bit, we'll find in time
The story of us is written well
A beautiful book for our family
Where our love story and happiness dwell
