Dot related because of her birthday...

Here are a couple of poems that are Dot related. The first will be the short one which I wrote for our 20th anniversay. These are lyrics put to music but for this post will pass for poetry

It was twenty years ago today
you came into my life to stay
I have never felt more okay
and I know you feel the same

and through out those twenty years
we've wiped away each others tears
you've helped me conquer every fear
that's why I always want you near

so now to heaven I implore
please, won't you give us twenty more
'cause of this one thing I am sure
without her I could not endure

and may our future years be blessed
with grandchildren and happiness
for this I truly will profess
of all men....I'm the luckiest.........

Today's the day you completely changed my life
Today's the day that you became my wife
and now the world looks so much lovelier to me
and as you stay that's how its always gonna be

For now the sun seems brighter, I hear more laughter
and I feel things I've never felt before
My dear you've helped me open heaven's door

So as we walk together down the road of life
some days we'll laugh and there'll be days that we will cry
and one by one as our children come along
they'll look to us and we will sing to them this song

For now the sun seems brighter, I hear more laughter
and I feel things I've never felt before
My child you've helped me open heaven's door

Then when we're older and we're sitting side by side
We'll watch our grandchildren our hearts will fill with pride
and I'll look back at all the things that we passed through
and I will say I'm glad I spent my life with you

For now the sun seems brighter, I hear more laughter
and I feel things I've never felt before
My dear you've helped me open heaven's door

Some time next century when our lives are finally through
You'll see my spirit and my spirit will know you
We'll have those same old feelings as before
and hand in hand together we'll walk through heaven's door....
