Anniversary Roses

So many ways to say I love you…
yet so few can say it the way that roses do.
Petal kisses,
at least a hundred thousand or so,
carrying the kiss I blew to you.
Six dozen stems,
two each for every year -
a million dreams plus one or two,
lovingly entwined in this gift for you.
A heart shaped card
saying the things I never could,
fervent words from a poets hand,
someone who felt my love for you.
A crystal vase,
softly brushed with a lavender hue
exuding a radiance like I saw in you
those many days and years ago
when first we touched,
you held my hand,
and then the day
you wore my wedding band.
So many ways to say I love you . . .
Petal kisses,
six dozen stems,
so many dreams,
a poets words,
another month - a year has passed,
a zillion thoughts,
my life is you,
a crystal vase and all my love…
a crystal vase . . .
and All my love.

Very sweet, not corny at all.

My anniversary was yesterday...One year.
