First Anniversary Poems

Your first anniversary is probably the single most special anniversary you will ever celebrate because it marks the beginning of a long marriage with your spouse. By the end of the first year of your relationship, both of you probably have a good idea of whether or not your relationship is going to last Friends and family of the celebrating couple are probably curous about this matter, and would like nothing more than to see them stay together for a  very long time. Poems are a great way to send your wishes to a new couple, and to give them confidence in their relatively new marriage. The following examples will give you an idea of what a first anniversary poem should look like:

“I've felt more passion than in all the rest:
More tenderness than silk, more warmth than wool.
Not that it's been easy. There've been times
When all the world has seemed to come apart:
Anger faces anger, and past crimes,
Real or imagined, lacerate the heart.
Love sometimes settles slowly, like a house
New-built that needs to snuggle in its bed.
When floorboards creak and groan, it's time to douse
The lights and make unbridled love instead!
Love, like air, cannot always be clear;
How sweet to breathe it with you this first year!”
