Lying beside you, as night turns to day.
Watching the sun wash over your face.
Realizing how much I love you, in a way
My heart can barely keep up the pace.
I think of our years together,
Those that have past, and those yet to come.
I cherish how we were strong
through all the bad weather,
And look forward to embracing the triumphs
that are yet to be done.
I still feel blessed for the day you came into my life.
You took away all the days of sadness and tears,
And overwhelmed me with joy
when you asked me to be your wife.
For these things I have always been thankful,
through all these many years.
