Motivation: Day 16 Happy Anniversary

My Other Half

They said we were young, we wouldn't last

But that is all in the distant past

Memories of the drives we used to take

Or sitting talking until really late

Still strong in my mind as if only yesterday

Brought fresh by hearing the music we used to play

One summer while football did play

"So go on the will you?" was all you had to say

To make me the happiest girl in town

Now I could officially plan my gown

Five more years I had to wait

To carve in my memory a most special date

Promises we made that wonderful day

The sunshine and the golden hay

I still remember the smiles and tears

A life with you to span the years

Our share of highs, just a few lows

Life isn't all frills and bows

Two became four, we were complete

Smiles and joy, even with no sleep

I wouldn't change a single part of us

Even if we now drive a bus

Father, lover, washer-uper, but above all else

My all, my everything, my one best friend.

Happy Anniversary, thanks for the last nine years of marriage and the other seven before we made it official. All my Love, Always. Sleepy Joe xxx
