SWEETHEART YOU ARE
You are the lamp that lights my soul.
You are the half that makes me whole.
You are the bell that rings for me.
You are the bird that sings to me.
You are my moon, my stars, my sun.
You are my one and only one.
My spirit fills with laughter true,
When I'm entertained by a playful you.
The tests of time we have withstood.
Our marriage is based on what's right and good.
Maybe it hasn't always been clear sailing.
But our love for each other is truly unfailing.
There are ties that bind us together.
Their knots are tight though light as a feather.
I'm happy knowing you and I are a 'we'.
'We' have character, strength, and unity.
Abundant blessings we have seen.
When by your side, I feel like a queen.
Now and again we've made a mistake.
There's more to it. There is give and take.
There is loving and forgiving.
It's about life and earnestly living.
In honour of our marriage Dear
I pray you stay by my side for another year.
