My love, it has been five wonderful years,

With astounding joy, happiness and tears.

What I see in you is so beautiful and true,

You have given me so much to look forward to.

Time seems to stand still when we’re together,

When you hold me, I wish it could be forever.

Sweetheart, I am so proud to be your wife,

You have fulfilled all my desires in this life.

Together we will continue to hope and dream,

With our strong love we will gain everything.

Honey, you have touched my life tremendously,

And you have given me your love unmeasurably,

If ever there were two hearts that beat as one,

It’s yours and mine, beating second to none.

You make me feel so special in all that you do,

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

I sincerely pray that we have fifty more years,

Losing you would be the worst of all fears.

Darling, In this life I have one secret goal,

To love you with all my heart and soul.

Happy Anniversary Sweetheart!
