My Best Friend

My life had been lonely and days had been long

But then somewhere down the road you came along

You took my hand and walked by my side

To complete my dream, that couldn’t go wrong

                  I still remember the day I first saw you

                  Like a child who was lost and a bit confused, too

                  I had some good friends, just a very few

                  But then I found, my best friend, in you,

We shared our joys, our thoughts, our fears

We shared a great friendship all through these years

We knew in our hearts, we were made for each other

So we took the Vows, to live our lives, forever, together

                   And oh what a life this has been,

                   We’ve had our share of laughter and tears

                   And  all the ups and downs, we have seen

                   But still these have been, the best 30years

We loved and enjoyed, the thrill of being parents,

Learning to cope with our kids, tantrums and screams

Sharing their joy, their sorrow,their best moments

Re-living our life with them, and sharing their dreams

             

                    I think we are ageing, quite gracefully,

                    Our kids have grown in to fine young ones

                   We are still young at heart, and that’s the best part

                   ‘Cause our kids think, we are still, going great guns

It seems that we were together from eternity,

We were made for each other, don’t you see

This was the way, it was destined to be

Because without you, there is, no ME ,

                     You stood by me, through thick & thin,

                     With you by my side, my days begin

                     I can’t think of life without you,

                     Without you, my life would be a sin

With you by my side, I feel complete and content

With you near, by my side, I’d like, life’s journey to end

I know there’s no other, who can take your place

You were,you are and will always be, My Best Friend

AND DREAMS COME TRUE.......

THIS IS  A LOVE STORY, IT STARTED 30 YEARS AGO………..

THEN I WAS YOUNG, I WAS LONELY,

 BUT I WAS A DREAMER,

 I DREAMED OF  LOVE

& SOMEONE WHO’LL LOVE ME & ME ONLY

I HAD  GOOD FRIENDS, BUT A VERY FEW

I LOVED GOOD BOOKS ,MUSIC &  MOVIES TOO

THEN ONE DAY  FROM OUT OF THE BLUE

I MET THIS BEAUTIFUL GIRL

WHOM IT SEEMED I ALWAYS KNEW,

SHE STEPPED STRAIGHT IN TO MY HEART,

AS IF SHE KNEW RIGHT FROM THE START,

IT WAS THE   PLACE,

FOR WHICH ONLY SHE HELD THE KEY,

I KNEW FROM THAT MOMENT

LOVE HAD HAPPENED TO ME

SHE BECOME MY SOUL MATE, MY BEST FRIEND

WE  SHARED OUR VIEWS  ON AUTHORS, BOOKS,

MOVIES …. THE  TOPICS NEVER SEEMED TO END

I TOLD HER “A FRIEND IS A PRESENT YOU GIVE TO YOURSELF”

SHE WAS & WILL BE THE ONE ,WITH WHOM I DON’T HAVE TO PRETEND

DAYS WERE LIKE A DREAM  WITH HER  NEAR AND AROUND ME

I’VE BEEN LUCKY  'CAUSE I FOUND HER AND THEN LOVE FOUND ME 

EVENINGS WERE THE TIME TO PART,

LEAVING ME WITH A HEAVY HEART,

NIGHTS WERE  LIKE MAGIC WITH HER  MEMORIES  TO SURROUND ME

OH  HOW CAN I EXPLAIN THE FEELING OF LOVE ?

IT’S SOMETHING MAGICAL?, DIVINE?  IT COME FROM ABOVE?

ONE CAN’T  FIND THE WORDS TO EXPRESS IT

BUT WHEN TRUE LOVE COMES TO YOU, IT COMES ON

THE WINGS OF A DOVE

SHE WAS THE ONE WHO CHANGED MY LIFE,

IT WAS NOT VERY LONG BEFORE WE BOTH SAID

“I LOVE YOU ”

 SO WE WALKED DOWN THE AISLE TO SAY

“I DO”

AND WE BECAME MAN & WIFE

BUT BEFORE THIS THERE WAS TROUBLE WITH PARENTS AND FRIENDS

THE WHOLE WORLD WAS TRYING TO TELL US IT’S WRONG

BUT  WE KNEW  THIS WOULD PASS IF WE JUST STOOD  STRONG

THOSE  WERE JUST  THE TRIALS AND TESTS OF OUR LOVE,

  AND WE KNEW THAT TRUE LOVE ALWAYS WINS IN THE END

I MUST CONFESS, THERE HAVE BEEN ROUGH TIMES,

HEARTACHES  & HEARTBREAKS, ALONG WITH THE GOOD TIMES

BUT EVEN THROUGH THOSE DARK DAYS OF GLOOM

OUR LOVE  STILL PREVAILS, OUR LOVE ALWAYS SHINES

AND WE STARTED A FAMILY  

AS TIME PASSED BY WE BUILT ‘FANTASIA ’OUR HOME

WHERE  IT  FEELS A  LITTLE BIT LIKE HEAVEN , WE CALL IT OUR OWN

IT’S STILL THE PLACE WHERE LOVE & HAPPINESS, CARING & SHARING 

HAVE GROWN LIKE A GREAT OAK TREE

SHE GAVE ME ALL THE HAPPINESS I  REALLY NEVER  KNEW

I COULD ALWAYS SEE HER LOVE IN EVERY THING  SHE’D DO

SHE GAVE ME  ALL HER LOVE ,HER TRUST

WITH ALL THE UNDERSTANDING AND CARE

TWO WONDERFUL GIFTS WHOM WE CHERISH,EVERY DAY

EVERY THING SEEMS  COMPLETE  IN THIS WONDERFUL WORLD WE SHARE

IT’S 28 YEARS, SINCE THAT DAY WE BOTH SAID ‘ I DO’

AND I STILL LOVE HER LIKE CRAZY,AND I KNOW SHE DOES TOO

THIS IS ALL I CAN THINK OF OR  I WANT TO SAY

SHE’S MY DREAM COME TRUE SHE’S MY LIFE

SHE’S IN MY LIFE, FOREVER TO STAY

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO YOU, SUE,

THIS IS OUR LOVE STORY SO SIMPLE,  BUT TRUE,

I WANT YOU TO KNOW , I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

YOU ARE THE  REASON MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE

AND YOU MUST BE KNOWING THAT I STILL ADORE YOU
