• You are my dear unlike any other

    Never will I find another

    You’re the rhyme that gives me reason

    You denied the basic childlike treason

    Rejected the lies, the jealousy and such

    To this gift we did clutch

    Year one began and we couldn’t know

    How far, how long we had to go

    Innocence punctured a naiive beginning

    Never crying always grinning

    Save for a few scrapes of the knee

    Sun burned skin or a sting by a bee

    Year two went by in the same haze

    Playgrounds, bikes, and summer days

    Year three began we were still going strong

    We found that together we did belong

    This truth we faced with unwavering smiles

    Never guessing the mature future trials

    Year four was much the same

    Although we learned a dangerous game

    We made a discovery that year

    One that every parent does fear

    Oh my, there is another sex!

    We found new muscles we prepared to flex

    This is when we entered a maze

    When we began to set this city ablaze

    Year five was harder than any before

    Out broke an adolescent’s war

    Although still we kept it together

    For this, anything would’ve been severed

    Year six continuously seemed like a breeze

    Until one of us found their sex drive with ease

    But still it would not get us down

    Our relationship was becoming world renown

    Year seven was a distant one

    And yet we still were as sure as the sun

    More frequently now were these harsh trials

    However we still had memories to compile

    Year eight, the most recent, you see

    We now have a secured guarantee

    It’s no longer in question though it never really was

    You’ve given me something no one else does

    Something I hold very close to my heart

    To me you are a vital life part

    My angel, you make me so very proud

    You constantly shine through the crowd

    You make me think more so than many do

    How I got so lucky I haven’t a clue

    Don’t ever get down baby, hold your head up

    Remember you’re my buttercup

    Don’t let anyone take that fire

    It’s what everyone admires

    Along with your beautiful smile

    How you make people laugh all the while

    I know your going to do better than fine

    Success you will come to define

    So please never face the world with fear

    Look to your side I will be here

    You and I will conquer the rest

    The top of the top the best of the best

    You will go far I know it’s true

    Have I mentioned honey, I’m proud of you?

    The apple of my eye

    My pumpkin pie

    Year one is when I knew

    I would always love you
