- Love Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
–William Shakespeare
- I loved you first: but afterwards your love
Outsoaring mine, sang such a loftier song
As drowned the friendly cooings of my dove.
Which owes the other most? my love was long,
And yours one moment seemed to wax more strong;
I loved and guessed at you, you construed me
And loved me for what might or might not be –
Nay, weights and measures do us both a wrong.
For verily love knows not ‘mine’ or ‘thine;’
With separate ‘I’ and ‘thou’ free love has done,
For one is both and both are one in love:
Rich love knows nought of ‘thine that is not mine;’
Both have the strength and both the length thereof,
Both of us, of the love which makes us one.
–Christina Rossetti
- You breathe life into my moments,
Like the fragrance of a rose in a room.
You add color to my life,
Like a rose in a desolate house.
Did I ever say, you protect me?
Like how the thorn of a rose guards the bearer.
Oh, my Rose…
I dream of a moment,
Where I can hold you, embrace you,
And then pull you close, to say softly in your ears,
“My rosette damsel…
You are the most treasured hue in the palette of my life.”
–Platonic Verses

This beautiful andmemorable day,
has been carved into my mind.
A precious moment in time,
when our lives became defined.
Let’s rejoice and celebrate,
our love and our bond.
I cherish what we have,
with my heart, I respond.
This journey of life is so sweet,
with you by my side.

I feel alive and awake.
My soul is filled with bliss,
due to the love that we share.

I will always be there.
To the stars and the heavens,

My love for you burns like the sun,

- Masons, when they start upon a building,
Are careful to test out the scaffolding;
Make sure that planks won’t slip at busy points,
Secure all ladders, tighten bolted joints.
And yet all this comes down when the job’s done
Showing off walls of sure and solid stone.
So if, my dear, there sometimes seem to be
Old bridges breaking between you and me
Never fear. We may let the scaffolds fall
Confident that we have built our wall.
–Seamus Heaney
- The day we both walked,
down our wedding aisle.
I couldn’t help
but joyously smile.
My tears of happiness
were so hard to suppress.
My whole life lit up,
the moment you said yes.
We’ve been through,
so much together.
We can outlast,
the harshest cold weather.
I will always love you
andshow you respect.
It’s our wedding anniversary,
Let’s spend time and connect.
My smile is peaceful and calm,
while I look straight ahead.
As long as we have each other,
our hearts shall be fed.
Thank youfor loving me,
用你的心和灵魂。
When we are together,
I feel completely whole.
–Anita poems
- Our anniversary means a lot,
Much more than any another day;
I celebrate my love for you,
And cherish you in every way.Through passing time, our love still grows,
A caring relationship to explore;
Our life together gets better and better,
And I keep on loving you more and more.

- Whenever I am away from you,
The distance between us
A burdensome thing,
I always think of you in colors
The smell of coffee as you so proudly make it for me,
The perfect sunlight spilling in through window.
I miss you even when you are beside me.
I dream of your body even when you are sleeping in my arms.
The words I love you could never be enough
I suppose we’ll have to invent new ones
–Christopher Poindexter
- I love you
I have loved you,
And I will love you.
Only time will tell how my love manifests itself,
But I can tell you it will never end, and no amount of time can ever change that.
–Alicia N. Green
- You’ve always been the one I counted on,
Through joy and sorrow, laughter, and some tears;
You keep me grounded; you’re my steady rock;
You’re there for me through days and months and years.Your sweet devotion never, ever fails,
No matter what I say or what I do.
Sometimes I wonder what I ever did
To deserve someone as wonderful as you.I love you with a love I can’t control;
I always want to be right by your side.
I want to touch you, kiss you and much more;
My passion for you cannot be denied.Together we are satisfied and blessed;
Our marriage is the very, very best.
–Joanna Fuchs

For giving you as my husband
每年使me realize
How lucky I am to be your wife

since we met and married,
so much love each hour, day and minute.
Passion, yes, and also
tender looks, casual caresses, fond words
filling my memories with pleasure forever.
With you, sweetheart, every year,
every anniversary, is the best one yet.

My whole world is filled with pleasure.

The air seems fresher too.
Everything that’s dear to me,

- Today is our anniversary and it seems just like yesterday
When I asked your hand in marriage and you simply said “okay”
I still remember the day we were married
Looking deep into each other’s eyes and soul.
The promises we made to one another
Even if we became broken down or stayed whole.I remember the promised words we said – on sickness or in health.
我记得的单词更好或更坏,快乐or sorrow, even poverty or wealth.Though life has hills and valleys and some great challenges this is true.
Each valley has made us stronger as our God has always seen us through.
I thank the Lord for sending you as my partner, lover, spouse and friend.
Our relationship has matured and grown although the roads did curve and bend.
Long ago we made a commitment to God and to each other – until death do us part.
These words are still ringing very true and buried deep within my heart.
When I think about our life together and how we’ve been so blessed.
I always thank the Lord for you, as I consider you the very best.
My heavenly father knew the perfect fit when He chose you for me
I will always praise God for – my verybest friendand lover – throughout eternity.
–Lisa S. Satcher
- Another year to create precious memories together.
Another year to discover new things to enjoy about each other.
Another year to build a life rich in love and laughter.
Another year to strengthen a marriage that defines “forever.”
Happy Anniversary!
–Joanna Fuchs
- Ever since the day we met
I knew you were the one for me
Without you, I can’t even imagine
How miserable everything would be
My life’s most beautiful memories are
The ones that I’ve shared with you
Thanks for sticking by through it all
Without you, I wouldn’t know what to do
Happy wedding anniversary, Darling!
–Anonymous
- I feel a sense of pride
In raising a toast to that person
Around whom the fairy tale
Of my life has been spun
This vivid journey with you
Has been fun all along
Even while wading through
Rights and wrongs
No matter what
You’ve always been around
Which is why
Happiness is all I’ve found
Happy anniversary
–Anonymous

- On this day, so beautiful and pretty
There’s only one place I want to be
In the cozy comfort of your arms
Lying mesmerized in the essence of your charm
Feeling the warmth of the ring you placed
Forgetting about all of other life’s petty worries
Reminiscing our love’s wonderful memories
Baby, there is nothing I don’t like about you
I hope that you will forever love me as much as I do
Happy anniversary
–Anonymous
- A cup of tears, a pool of smiles and cheers,
Our love is an adventure, such a crazy ride.
Each day not quite the same, always something new,
I never knew love, until I found you.
And so, I vow to always be by your side,
So many emotions, all mixed into one,
It’s quite the journey, but oh so fun.
We’re a little bit playful, a small bit of sad,
Sometimes we’re naughty, but mostly we’re glad.
It’s all so strange, everything is surreal,
The experiences are amazing, there’s so much to feel.
Fear grips my heart when I think about losing you,
Yet I still give in to my heart, there’s nothing else I can do.
This must be what love is, so strange and so new,
But I wouldn’t trade it for anything, I want nothing but you.
–Anonymous
- Love you
in ways, you’ve never been loved,
for reasons you’ve never been told,
for longer than you think you deserved,
And with more than you will ever know existed
Inside me.
–Tyler Knott Gregson
