This poem was written to my wife for our 8-year anniversary. |
The heart is like a canvass and love is like a pen My heart has been scribbled upon time and time again. With bright colors of love and the gentle strokes of time You began painting my heart to make it truly shine. The past was full of memories both of delight and despair But we made the journey together because we knew what was near We were doubted and tested by those who didn't believe That the feelings we shared together were quite genuine indeed. Finally the day came where we were united as one Husband and wife to live together until our days were done. Time has tested our vows but love always shows the way Because we always are able to start fresh and begin a new day. The canvass has grown as we now paint as one And we've welcomed a new artist whose life has just begun. She has added many colors beyond our wildest dreams Watching her grow for the love of life is plenty to make us beam. The beauty of love should last a lifetime and I vow to you mine I believe our love is invulnerable and will stand the test of time. The past was quite a journey; in the present we're learning more But I promise to you on this day our future is safe and secure! |
