How well I remember
the day we met.
Our hearts were set afire.
From that moment on, our lives embarked
on a journey of hope and desire.

The promises made
the day we wed,
the words we spoke as one,
are still, this day, a testament
to our ever-growing love.

Neither of us knew
the twists and turns,
the problems we would face.
Nor did we know the pain we'd feel,
the sorrow and heartaches.

But through it all
our love endured.
It flourished and it bloomed.
We built a home and filled it
full of joy in every room.

The music of children's laughter
echoes down the hall
and images of our life story
hang on every wall.

Our love is not an object
or something we fall into.
It's not empty words recited
on a sunny day in June.

Our love is a beautiful story,
a tale of man and wife.
It's who we are and what we do.
It is love that gives us life.

I remember well
the day we wed.
It changed my life forever.
I've no regrets, no second thoughts,
no wishing things were better.
