anniversary poems

Our Anniversary By Katherine Butler Hathaway

The years have passed so quickly, my love,

Since we walked down the aisle together

It seems like only yesterday

That we pledged our love forever.

The dreams that we shared so long ago

Are still as fresh as the morning dew,

And the love that we feel for each other

Is still just as strong and as true.

So here's to our anniversary,

And all the love that we share

May our bond grow ever stronger

As we show each other we care. 

3. Two-Stepping Together by Joanna Fuchs

anniversary poems

It's our anniversary, so let's celebrate

Being together, it's been great!

With you by my side, I've walked life's path

With your hand in mine, I've felt God's wrath.

But with your arms around me, I feel love's power

And the two of us make the perfect flower.

The pedals may wilt and fade away

But our love will bloom day after day.

3. Love Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda

anniversary poems

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,

or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,

in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms

but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;

thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,

risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,

I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;

so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,

so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,

so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

4. A Wedding Anniversary by Christina Rossetti

anniversary poems

Days will pass, and years will pass,

And as we journey on,

Our love for one another

Will grow deeper and more strong.

We'll share each other's laughter,

And wipe away each other's tears,

And through the trials we'll face together,

Our love will conquer fears.

So here's to our wedding anniversary,

And all the love that we share

May our bond grow ever stronger

As we show each other we care.

Have made our bond ever true.

So on this anniversary

I want you to know how much you mean to me

I love you more with every breath

And I promise to love you until death.
