Walk beside me and be my wife, Enjoy with me this beauty we call life. My heart glows with happiness when you are near. I want to be with you forever, my dear. I tremble at your every touch, This is because I love you so much. If there was only one wish I could have today, It would be to feel this way each and every day. The sound of your voice fills my heart. Is there nothing that can keep us apart? Yesterday is just a dream, our future yet to express. Let us share this life with our same name and address. I hope you always say yes! Edward J. Ebbs - January 2007

I have done with love and lust, I reck not for gold or fame; I await familiar dust These frail fingers to reclaim: Not for me the tiger flame.
Not for me the furnace glow, Rage of fire and ashen doom; To sweet earth my bones bestow Where above a lowly tomb January roses bloom.
Fools and fools and fools are you Who your dears to fires confide; Give to Mother Earth her due: Flesh may waste but bone will bide,-- Let loved ones lie side by side.
Let God's Acre ever dream; Shed your tears and blossoms bring; On age-burnished bone will gleam Crucifix and wedding ring: Graves are for sweet comforting.
Curst be those who my remains Hurl to horror of the flames!

Greeting of the day Is here to convey The earnest recognition of affection Directly from the heaven Wrapped in his divine invisibility Enclosed within her words Sent towards you, to wish in bliss What he remembers What we remember Happy Wedding Anniversary

E-ndless love for each other D-oes work wonderful things; U-nder God's guidance they endure A-ll forms of trials that life brings. R-eal love remains in second January, D-espite distress and sorrow; O-vercoming all kinds of trouble, they hope for a brighter tomorrow. A-gainst all odds they stay steadfast, N-o matter what happens; D-rifting in the stormy weather, they brave the strong winds. L-iving together in a lifetime, Y-ears thirty-four long, isn't easy; N-ow is the moment to greet them, N-uptial anniversary may be happy!

B-ed of flowers as the love is shared E-arly since '96 January seventeenth; R-oses in red, white, and yellow N-eed the rain to feel content. A-lways and forever we'll be R-emaining tough standing in the rain; D-evoted to each other, even if at times grimacing in pain. & M-oon may not always be full, A-t times it's half or in crescent, I-n a love of a lifetime, changes are in a rise or in descent. L-et the Lord hold us together, E-ven when the sun is down; E-ach day after every night, N-ew dawn smiles far from the frown.
