To You

To You

People spend a life time searching for what you have
And the time you've spent together so far just shows what love is
From the first vows, not an eye has bated
Signed and sealed with that one kiss

And billions more, and a couple of kids
Little truffles that god calls blessings
The preservation of life and legacy
Building family trees, brick upon brick places of dwelling

Come rain or shine, you've awaken to the same face
With a tender kiss with that whiff of morning breath and a smile
And you remember that time and distance is no barrier
Just to see, hug and hold, you'd travel a thousand miles

And distance makes the heart grow fonder
That's why you stay close inches deep every night
Tried and tested, your emotions and motives have frozen time
Weathered any storm, and thrown off any tempestuous smite

So you rise as the sun falls to your enjoyment of life
Family bonded in holy matrimony, you live as one with pride
Not a rock to turn over, no secrets between man and wife
Your rings are a symbol, there's nothing to hide

So here you are in the open
To all eyes and all ears
Where you tender loving care has been announced again
Here's to many more years
