Another year has come and gone,
Our love grows brighter, like the dawn.
Through every trial, joy, and cheer,
You’re my heart, my rock, my dear.
Together we’ve built a life so true,
A bond unbroken, always new.
Each moment shared, a treasure divine,
With you, my love, life’s truly fine.
So here’s to us, our journey sweet,
Hand in hand, our love’s complete.
Happy anniversary, my partner, my friend,
May our story of love never end.
We’ve walked through sunshine, danced in rain,
Through life’s ups and downs, joy and pain.
Side by side, we’ve faced it all,
Together standing strong and tall.
Your smile still lights up my day,
In your arms, my worries melt away.
A love like ours, so rare and true,
Each day I’m grateful for me and you.
As we celebrate this special year,
I thank the stars for having you near.
Happy anniversary, my love, my heart,
Forever and always, we’ll never part.
You must be very happy
As you start another year,
And may it bring you both the things
You hold especially dear,
Including love and laughter,
Best of health for both of you,
And, always, lots of happiness
In everything you do.
The years have flown, yet here we stand,
A journey crafted hand in hand.
Through winding roads and skies of gray,
Our love has guided the way.
I still recall our laughter bright,
The moments shared, pure delight.
Through every milestone, joy, and tear,
Your love has made each step so clear.
Looking back, the memories shine,
Each one a thread in a love divine.
Happy anniversary, my partner, my guide,
Forever grateful to have you by my side.
Do you remember that first sweet glance,
The spark of love, our first dance?
From whispered dreams to vows we made,
A life together, a love displayed.
We’ve built a home, a story unique,
In every challenge, it’s you I seek.
The years are a canvas, painted with care,
Of laughter, struggles, and love we share.
Today we pause, reflect, and smile,
On every memory, every mile.
Happy anniversary, my best friend,
May our journey of love never end.
For many an anniversary
Has come to thee and me,
Heartbreaking days have come with tears,
And happy days, with joy and glee.

It's not enough to wish you
Happy Anniversary, Dear
For there are many other things
That you've a right to hear -
For instance, that you're wonderful,
For instance, that you're sweet,
For instance, that you've done so much
To make my life complete.
And, Dear, you know it's coming
From my heart when I express
My one enduring wish for you -
A wish for happiness.
May ever the golden blessing
Be yours, and ne'er depart,
And the love of friends who have been so true,
Who are present now to rejoice with you,
Be found in every heart.
Two, Lord, at thine altar wait,
A blessing to receive;
Humbly they would unite their fate,
If thou wilt give them leave.
Their hands they join, their hearts they blend,
One journey now they take;
They pray their love may have no end,
They ask it for Christ's sake.
Before you know it an anniversary arrives,
Full of memories, where meaning thrives.
A marker in time, memories of roads we did tread,
We remember the joys and the tears we've shed.
We look back and we look forward to what we face
Celebrating the journey, every joyous trace.
For on this day, we honor with might,
And celebrate this anniversary with sheer delight.
Twelve years of sunshine and of storms
Since first our lives were joined in one;
But had the sky no threatening clouds,
We would forget to prize the sun.
With life one joyous summer-day,
And, gliding down life's quiet stream,
We would not note our rapid flight
Were there no landmarks by the way.

The way you laugh, the way you care,
A love like yours is beyond compare.

Your bond remains a perfect form.
You lift each other, hand in hand,
Together strong, together you stand.
A shining light, a love so true,
The world is brighter because of you.
Happy anniversary, a pair so rare,
A love eternal, beyond repair.
May your bond inspire, your hearts stay kind,
A love like yours is hard to find.
Two hearts united, a perfect blend,
A love so steadfast, it will not bend.
Through time you’ve shown what love can do,
A bond so strong, forever true.
You’re partners in life, a beautiful team,
Fulfilling each other’s every dream.
Your kindness, your trust, your laughter too,
Together, there’s nothing you cannot do.

An inspiration to all who know you.
