-------- - -------------------- ---------

1 Once there was a lass whose face looked so divine, 

I swore that her heart will one day be mine;

To exchange sweet nothings as we dine,

Her beauty lasts and lingers, gets even better as it ages like wine.

2 Behold such awesome beauty exquisitely refine(d), 

All that I pray and hope in a woman is with thine;

What I once dreamt has become a reality so fine,

We eventually became lovers 'coz our hearts and souls were entwine(d).

3 As the first of the eighth month approaches, celestials have decided to define, 

The universe has made its move, our planets align;

Call it Serendipity, fate or destiny, more fittingly called a trine,

Our stars were in harmony, it was a remarkable sign. 

4 Several wonderful years have passed, to be exact 'twas nine,

Being partners was great but we needed affirmation that's divine;

We unfold on a new chapter, the "ploy of dates" was a great sign,

To fulfill heaven's mandate and exchange our vows in a shrine.

5 On our 108th moons together, our vows enshrine(d),

1st of the 8th moon of that year it was (801), the dates twine(d);

'Twas a melancholic day for the nation, the sky cried like a brine,

Yet, Lo and behold, the heavens confirms a couple marching towards God's shrine. 

6 Life is a wondrous mystery itself, alone it creates whirl and line,

An utter demise or a new beginning, each people's fate have a unique design;

We believe in providence and good karma, everything we lift to the one Divine, 

The past is a teacher, the present a gift, the future brings forth an outline.

7 A couple of years elapsed, a bundle of joy emerged as we combine --,

Our bodies and souls, not to mention our traits and genes entwine(d);

The most elaborate gift, a blessing of a beloved progeny is in line,

We cannot contain our awe and gladness, our hearts leapt in elation so define(d). 

8 108 moons had once again transpired, 18 years together with so little whine,

Our love has grown deeper and reaped fruits aplenty like a fig tree not a vine;

Our affection for each other is as polished as a diamond so refine(d),

Quagmires and trials, struggles and challenges, together we decline(d).

9 Cheers to couple of 18 years or more as one, we shall never waiver to define, 

A love's promise that's Heaven made, brought about by providence Divine;

We both commit to God, the love, respect and understanding be Thine, 

We pray to the Almighty Father to grant us endless bliss and experience everlasting CLOUD NINE!
