In forty years, we've walked a path,
With laughter, tears, and aftermath,
Through ups and downs, we've grown so strong,
In love's embrace, where we belong.
My wife, you are my guiding star,
With you, my love, I've come so far,
Your caring heart, so pure and true,
Has made us better, me and you.
Through struggles faced and battles fought,
With every lesson life has taught,
We've built a bond, unbreakable,
Together, we are capable.
Your strength has been my steady ground,
In you, my greatest love I've found,
With every challenge, we've grown near,
Our love, resilient, crystal clear.
So here's to us, to forty more,
To every joy and to each chore,
For in your eyes, I see our past,
And know our love will always last.
