To My Dear and Loving Husband

" If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so persevere
That when we live no more, we may live ever. "

- Anne Bradstreet, 1650 -

" I cannot promise you that
I will not change.
I cannot promise you that
I will not have many different moods.
I cannot promise you that
I will not be erratic.
I cannot promise you that
I will always be strong.
I cannot promise you that
My faults will not show.

But...
I do promise you that
I will always be supportive of you.
I do promise you that
I will share all my thoughts
and feelings with you.
I do promise you that
I will give you freedom to be yourself.
I do promise you that
I will understand everything that you do.
I do promise you that
I will be completely honest with you.
I do promise you that
I will laugh and cry with you.
I do promise you that
I will help you achieve all your goals.

But...
Most of all
I do promise you that
I will love you."

" I love looking back
to where we began,
seeing us as we were
at the beginning,
then slowly leafing through
the memories
we've made together
to bring us
to where we are today...
I love anticipating
the days ahead of us,
wondering what we'll find
in each other,
in ourselves,
before another year
has slipped away...
But, best of all,
I love being with you
where we are today,
together writing the pages
we'll remember tomorrow. "

" May our friendship last forever;
May I sail upon your sea.
May we go through life together;
May there always be a "we."
May I be your endless sky;
May you breathe my gentle air.
May you never wonder why
Each time you look for me, I'm there.

May we be for each a smile
Like the warm, life-giving sun;
Yet when we're in pain awhile,
May our suffering be one.

May we share our special days,
The happiness of one for two;
And if we must go separate ways,
Let my love remain with you."

The Magic Of Love

" Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with it's heart
And not with it's mind!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks....
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.
Love can't be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life's sweet mystery!"

Le tendre et dangereux visage de l'amour

"Le tendre et dangereux
visage de l'amour
m'est apparu un soir
après un trop long jour
C'était peut-être un archer
avec son arc
ou bien un musicien
avec sa harpe
Je ne sais plus
Je ne sais rien
Tout ce que je sais
c'est qu'il m'a blessée
peut-être avec une flèche,
peut-être avec une chanson
Tout ce que je sais
c'est qu'il m'a blessée
blessée au coeur
et pour toujours
Brûlante trop brûlante
blessure de l'amour."

- Jacques Prévert -
