Anniversaries Of Our Love



When it was one

we were young and partied down with the sun

dining and dancing by firelight,

making love all through the night.



When it became two

was just me and you

we looked into each others eyes

as we held one another

speaking with no words,

promising forever.



Years passed and we celebrated five

together, our love was alive

when we touched, sparks still flew

together we were special,

we both knew.



They say seven is a lucky number

ours was better, our seventh summer

we made love in water so clear and blue

a vision of beauty I saw in only you.



Nine came along and we celebrated our life

I, your husband

you, my beautiful wife

we went to the movies and necked like young lovers

even in a crowd,

we saw no others.



Ten came with a party from our friends

sharing tears of happiness as we joined hands

we knew how special our love was in these times,

as we gathered in celebration out neath' the fresh pines



More years gone and fifteen was here

all I ever wanted out of life,

was to have you near.

I picked wildflowers and laid them out on the spread

we made love in the beauty of their fragrance,

upon our bed.



Twenty years to this day we said, I Do

twenty years now

and the heart of this man overflows with love for you.

We dined and danced by moonlight

making love all through the night.
