Once upon a time
In the land of word and rhyme
I stumbled on a lady
Whose verse was so sublime
Clever and articulate
Her ink shone so bright
It opened up my eyes
And turned on an inner light
There was passion in her words
There was warmth in her soul
There was knowledge in her history
There was direction in her goal
We shared many thoughts
And talked for hours on end
And decided to marry
Near a waterfall shared with friends
It was a beautiful day
There was happiness in the air
Three and a half years later
Our love has grown with care
Nurtured by tender hands
And consideration to share
We reflect on our journey
When loneliness was our despair
I take this time to highlight
How much you mean to me
Everyday I am amazed
By the beauty that I see
You warm my heart deeply
Your smile melts me through
I have been truly blessed
To share a life with you .........
