Poet: Mrs. C. K. Smith
On looking back o'er the years
How very brief the time appears!
The hours but moments seem to me;
That Time has wings I plainly see.
The fact that figures don't deceive,
Is all that makes me now believe
That half a hundred years have fled
Since in the church we two were wed.
If years give wisdom, as they say,
How wise we ought to be today.
Poet: Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath.
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

I never imagined a marriage like ours
When we were married many years ago
I knew we would be good together
Because you're a great fellow.
But life with you has been so great
You are thoughtful, caring and so kind
I love you more each year
You are one of a kind, an amazing find!
Happy Anniversary my dear

Thank you for who you are
I love you, you're the best!

Poet: Florence Earle Coates
As the mother bird to the waiting nest,
As the regnant moon to the sea.
As joy to the heart that hath first been blest -
So is my love to me.
Sweet as the song of the lark that soars
From the net of the fowler free,
Sweet as the morning that song adores -
So is my love to me!
As the rose that blossoms in matchless grace
Where the canker may not be,
As the well that springs in a desert place -
So is my love to me.
