46 years together

We discovered that the gift for a 46th anniversary is an original poem. Knowing that, we both wrote our original poems to each other ... they'll probably never be published but they both show our love and devotion for each other.
Enjoy and love to you all,
Dad

Mom's
Doug, you're an original guy,
Jump right in, never shy.
Tackle any problem that comes
And in doing always hums!

You're happy and glad
Seldom ever sad.
See the good in everyone
"Join right in and don't be glum!"

For everyone there's room in your heart,
I'm happy I hold yours in large part.
For 46 years you've love me
Given me a world of bliss to feel and see.

You fill my soul with love and cheer
Can't wait to see what awaits next year.
For you my love is endless
Toward you my heart is full of tenderness!

In short - you are totally awesome!
LaRee

Dad's

April 12, 1963 was the 1st day of our happily married lives together
We had a wonderful time exchanging vows that day
Promising to share all things together for the rest of our lives
Pain, sorrow, happiness and love were a few
And then we kissed … oh what a kiss!

46 years have passed and our love remains as passionate as ever
Days come and go …………………
And my love for you remains incredibly strong
I care when you hurt
I cry when you cry
I laugh when you laugh
I love to see a twinkle in your eye

I never dreamt that life could be like this
Never thought I’d find someone so good
I’m blessed beyond compare
To have one so kind, loving and dear

We’ve had some struggles
We’ve had a few fights
But who could stay mad at someone you’ve loved all your life
Not me for sure
Not me at all
You’ll be mine for always and evermore

We creak and we grown
Yes we are growing old
Together we started
Together we’ve stayed
Promises kept that we long ago made

Together forever we later vowed
To love to cherish
To have and to hold
To honor and keep
We knelt, clasp hands and sealed it all
Then we kissed … oh what a kiss!

I love you, I love you!
Forever I will
You’re 1st in my life and forever will be
LaRee my sweetheart, happy 46th anniversary!

With all my love, passion and devotion,
Doug

Dad always has a surprise for me--an original poem--he's such a romantic and everyday I count my blessing that I was smart enough to marry him!
