The Years
Poet: C. A. Lynch
Happy Anniversary to you both
The years have quickly gone by
It seems like only yesterday
An engagement was in the works.
Then your wedding day did come
And you were both were happy as can be
A day of celebration and love
One that will not be forgotten.
Now the years have gone by
And an anniversary we celebrate with you.
Your love continues to grow and shine
May God bless you with many more years together. -

If Thou Must Love Me, Let It Be For Nought
Poet: Elizabeth Barrett Browning
If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say,
"I love her for her smile, her look, her way
Of speaking gently, for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day";
For these things in themselves, beloved, may
Be changed, or change for thee: and love so wrought
May be unwrought so. Neither, love, me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry:
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby.
But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou mayst love on through love's eternity. -
We Two
Poet: Ella Wheeler Wilcox
We two make home of any place we go;
We two find joy in any kind of weather;
Or if the earth is clothed in bloom or snow,
If summer days invite, or bleak winds blow,
What matters it if we two are together?
We two, we two, we make our world, our weather.
We two make banquets of the plainest fare;
In every cup we find the thrill of pleasure;
We hide with wreaths the furrowed brow of care
And win to smiles the set lips of despair.
For us life always moves with lilting measure;
We two, we two, we make our world, our pleasure.
We two find youth renewed with every dawn;
Each day holds something of an unknown glory.
We waste no thought on grief or pleasure gone;
Tricked out like hope, time leads us on and on,
And thrums upon his harp new song or story.
We two, we two, we find the paths of glory.
We two make heaven here on this little earth;
We do not need to wait for realms eternal.
We know the use of tears, know sorrow's worth,
And pain for us is always love's rebirth.
Our paths lead closely by the paths supernal;
We two, we two, we live in love eternal. -
Our Sixty-Fourth Wedding Anniversary
Poet: Mrs. C. K. Smith
We are nearing the end of our journey,
The mountains begin to look bright,
Very soon we may enter the portals
Where there will be no more night.
From trials our life has not been exempt,
But day always followed the night ;
Have ever been blessed beyond our deserts,
Our path undeservedly bright.
More cause for thankfulness than repining,
Have seen more of pleasure than pain,
Every cloud has had its silver lining,
And darkness changed to light again.
"I have meat to eat that ye know not of,"
Said Christ when his heart was full of love;
We also may feed on food divine,
Nor hunger, nor thirst, nor feel to repine.
We get what we seek, if we seek aright,
His yoke is easy and His burden light ;
Brighter and brighter grows our pathway,
Till now we are nearing the perfect day.
To loved ones who meet with us here to-day
May flowers spring up all along your pathway,
That the evening of life your best may be,
All ripe for a blissful eternity. -
The China Wedding
Poet: Crocket McElroy
There are fountains away in the north,
From whence waters flow down to the sea,
There's a heart in the bosom of man,
From whence love courses warmly and free.
There are diamonds that dazzle the eye,
And rich gold that's a pleasure to see,
But there's nothing so pleasing to man,
As the love that flows warmly and free.
There are men who have merits and wealth,
And kind husbands they gladly would be,
But Mary took a fancy to Hi,
For his love flows so warmly and free.
There are women of beauty and worth,
Whose sweet smiles are a pleasure to see,
But Mary was the choice of them all,
For her love flows so warmly and free.
They have kind friends who admire them both,
And they're gathered this night just to see,
How well they are enjoying this life,
Where sweet love flows so warmly and free.
This poem below depicts the amazing bond two people can have when they have each other's best interests at heart. Being able to see positivity in every moment of their lives together is an amazing accomplishment. It doesn't matter how the weather turns out or if the place we wanted to go cannot take us any longer as long as we love each other and find pleasure in every moment. May this be the relationship we all strive to have.
