So, how does it feel to say “I love you!” and mean it?

Well, I must admit, I don't know what true love, time and patience are all about

But you, Aunt Bern, Uncle Reg, chose to stick it out

To weigh the ups and down, smiles and drowns of life

To become a beautiful couple—become man and wife

To you, I wish a life of unbridled passion

The best of things, of God, is what I'm askin'

The open-mindedness to see past your differences

When a problem first arises, I know you'll see past your differences

And deal with them with all the knowledge you had to start

And really live up to the phrase “Till death do us part”

So much luck and joy I wish you throughout the years

Hoping that only happiness is ever the reason for your tears

I watched for a year and saw your love grow

A vibe that flows throughout us all

I hope you both are united forever and you always stand tall

Oh, and one thing constantly on my mind clicking, buzzin'

When are y'all gonna break down and give me another cousin?

No, let me stop; I probably made your hearts skip a beat

(Hee hee heeeeee!)

But, to end this poem on a solid note

And give you the point of this poem I wrote

(Which meant much love—and I love you both)

Many celestial wonders lie ahead

Enjoy them and each other…now I'm going to bed

Just kidding! Happy Anniversary!
