Three and counting....

Three years since we stood before God and man to become one. 

Three years that have passed like the shot from a gun.

Three years that I've woken up to see your face.

Three years and you've never ceased to amaze.

Lots of tears have been shed along the way

but I still count the smiles at the end of the day.

Three years you've protected, shielded and loved

while I've been frustrated, scared and bowed

by things I could not hope to change

In three years, you've let me find my own way.

Encouraged my growth as a wife, a girl, as ME

What you've seen in me, I could never see.

Togetherness, love, a companion... its all I've ever wanted

you've excelled... in more ways than I could have ever dreamed.

 I will always remember the walk that clinched it for me forever...

few words spoken, but so much said.

You're more than a spouse, you are my friend

and this is one friendship, I hope will endure, never end.

I wouldnt trade you for all of humanity.

My friend, lover, fellow traveller, my Serenity

No one loves you more than your Calamity.

Here's to many more years of discovery, of living, of loving, of travel and togetherness. 

Here's to many more meals cooked and relished together, of whiskeys tasted and getting smashed together. Here's to never being lonely when we have each other, here's to waking up always to sleepy smiles and cuddles from the other. 

Here's to the journey - may it always hold more pleasure for us than the destination.
