My Anniversary Poem for You,
My Dearest Jan

From day one, you captivated me.

My eyes were in a trance as I gazed upon your beauty.

As we talked, I learned about you —

your personality so beautiful, your heart as pure as driven snow.

The hidden love inside me burst into a flood,
and I knew that someday I’d be cooking for you and doing your laundry.


Each year that has gone by, like clouds in the sky,
I realize more and more that I want to be with you till the day I die.


Through our love we’ve formed a beautiful wonder — our son.
Through tear-filled eyes, I watch him grow and play,
knowing that he is a part of you.


As I pray, I thank God for His gift — which is you.
When I fell in love with you, I knew that someday I’d marry you.


My vow to you is sincere, and I’ll guard it with my life.
I cherish both the happy times and the quarrels we share,
because I know my love for you will never die.

My dreams and visions for years to come —
when our little one is grown and gone —
are for us to be each other’s companion,
killing the touch of loneliness.


We will walk the watery sands, hand in hand and tongue to tongue.
Again, I thank the Lord for blessing me with such a beautiful wife,
and for giving me the woman with whom I share this life.
