Our story is no fairy tale
For when do those come true
It's even more than I could wish
This life I live with you
In good times and in bad times
And all times in between
In sickness and in mostly health
In plenty and in lean
We have role models in our lives
That set examples of
Unions built on solid ground
Complete undoubted love
We've learned time-honoured values and
We know just what it takes
To make life luscious like a feast
That always ends with cake
We've raised two children on the cusp
Of forging their own way
Carving out their unique paths
They make us proud each day
For teamwork and some compromise
Respect and honour too
Thinking conscientiously
Of all we say and do
Are hallmarks of our family
Embedded through and through
I do not say it near enough
That it's all because of you
So how can I express in words
What our life means to me
It isn't luck (though I'm flush with it)
We're simply meant to be...
