Through all these years of life the journey has been good,
Interlaced though it has been with struggle and joy, tears and laughter.

You look at your journey-partner and think of the journey without her –
You realize there is color on the horizon and music in the air due to her.

At this time of celebration let us toast to her glory and our union.
The many tomorrows yet to dawn stand impatiently
To enkindle our energies and paint the skies crimson.
