How glorious to be with you
To spend the passing years this way
For the life that you've shared with me
I’m feeling thankful every day
Your good character inspires me
To try to be the best I can
I’m filled with love and gratitude
For you, my most wonderful man
It was a hard, arduous path
That led me to this tranquil place
But I’d travel that route again
For your warm, passionate embrace
My lover, stalwart companion,
Sweet, cheerful, and cherished best friend
May our days be long and joyful
And this happiness never end
