[ March 16, 2021, Will Be Anniversary Number 25 ]
[ That Will Mean That I Have Been Married To You
     For Almost Half Of The Years That I Have Been Alive ]

[ Here Is A Good Laugh ]
[ I Have Been Married To You In Years More Than Half ]

[ That Is A Whole Lot Of Years ]
[ We Have Worked Through Many Days & Nights Of
    Tears ]

[ Alot Of People That We Thought We Knew ]
[ Did Not Want To Stick Around To Watch Me & You ]

[ Grow As We Aged ]
[ Never Wanted To Watch Us Turn Another Page ]

[ In The Book That We Have Been Writing ]
[ They Would Be Here One Day ]
[ Then There Was Never Another Sighting ]

[ But That Is Quite Okay ]
[ I Say ]
[ Being A Loyal Friend ]
[ Was Not How They Liked To Play ]

[ But That Was Not Your Plan ]
[ Once You Figured Out That I Was Your Man ]

[ Than We Told Your Father & Mother ]
[ When Asked ]
[ I Would Say That I Never Again Wanted To Date Any Other ]

[ We Faced Many Fears … Together ]
[ & Each Time We Came Out Way Better ]
[ Because Some Of Our Burdens ]
[ Were A Whole Lot Heavier Than A Single Feather ]

[ Some People @ The Beginning Never Gave Me A Chance ]
[ But They Never Saw How I Can Dance ]

[ & You Know That Is What I Can Do ]
[ After Dancing With Me A Time Or Two ]

[ Maybe Some Thought That I Was Not Very Capable ]
[ Because Before All Of This ]
[ I Had Never Pulled Up A Chair @ Their Big, Long Table ]

[ Sometimes We Had Tall Mountains To Climb ]
[ But We Succeded, Time After Time ]

[ Then, Because Of That Glorious Day In April Of 2017 ]
[ I Figured Out That I Could Wriite You A Funny Story
     That Rhymed ]
[ But Also Know What They Mean ]

[ My Whole Thought Process Changed It Seemed ]
[ All Of A Sudden I Was Having Rhymes In My Head ]
[ That Screamed ]

[ ( LET ME OUT! ) ]
[ Then That Left Me No Doubt ]
[ That These Are The Things I Needed To Write About ]

[ We Have Gone Through A Lot Of Battles ]
[ But We Continue To Fight The War ]
[ There Has Yet To Be Something That Has Rattled ]
[ Either One Of Us, To The Core ]

[ We Have 25 More Years, Until We Get There ]
[ We Have So Many More Good Times To Share ]
[ So … Do We Dare? ]

[ Try? ]
[ ( YES! ) Says I ]

[ I Love You More Every Day Since I First Said Those Words ]
[ Then When You Said ( I DO! ) ]
[ That Was The Best Answer To A Question That I Had Ever
     Heard ]

[ I Could Learn How To Say ( I LOVE YOU ) In Ten Or
     20 Different Languages ]
[ But All Through The 25 Years ]
[ The Meaning Never Changes ]
