<p class="ql-block">We met as classmates, young and free,</p><p class="ql-block">Your long black hair, your smile so sweet.</p><p class="ql-block">Forty-one years have slipped away,</p><p class="ql-block">Yet the first sight still feels like yesterday. </p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">After graduation, we were finally hand in hand,</p><p class="ql-block">Two hearts together, with dreams so grand. </p><p class="ql-block">We crossed the ocean, far from home,</p><p class="ql-block">Through winds and storms,</p><p class="ql-block">We learned to roam. </p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Through good times, through bad times too,</p><p class="ql-block">We walked together, me and you. </p><p class="ql-block">Thirty-four years of marriage came and gone,</p><p class="ql-block">Yet still together, yet still going strong. </p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Though the years have turned my hair to gray,</p><p class="ql-block">I still love you more than I can say. </p><p class="ql-block">Thank You, my wife,</p><p class="ql-block">My soulmate, my joy, my life!</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Forty-one years since we first met,</p><p class="ql-block">Thirty-four years I won’t forget.</p><p class="ql-block">And whatever roads we travel on,</p><p class="ql-block">Together, we’ll make our journey a joyful song!</p>
