How could it happen

How could it happen?

Once upon a dream I found my true love

Sitting in a chair watching a play

From that first kiss till the last I give

You hold my heart, my love, and my friendship

We have weathered some stormy times

As well as warm sunny days

Our loyalty and love carried us through

Your courage and strength lent in times of need

Your knowledge and leadership directs our course

Your toils and compassion are the glue

That our lives have shared

I truly love you more today then the day 25 years before

When I could not love you more

You are my companion, my desire, and my refuge

The fountain of renewal, the substance of relief

The fruits of our relationship become more brilliant

And worthy each day through your care and cultivation

The foundation upon which we built

Is firm and true

Tested and proved

May we continue to fulfill

The dreams come true

Be certain of my love

You are my desire and

Gratitude grows stronger each moment

We share our lives together

I am blessed and happy that a gem as precious as you

Is so near to illumine and brighten each day

Your sparkle, your brilliance, your beauty

Is the quest of men through out eternity

So lucky, so charmed am I

Your happiness, your friendship, your love

Is my goal, my reason for existence

I thank God for you

And thank you for sharing your life with me.
