A toast.
To you and your beloved
May you ever be deserving of the other
May your days be happy and bright
May your lives be filled with a joy
Unknown to most as ecstatic cries fill the air around you
Only to be silenced by a tender kiss
May you meet eachother day by day
With happy greetings and grateful psalms of joy
May you hold steadfast to eachother
Without any thoughts of doubt or betrayal
May you be an idyllic pair
An oasis in a desert of strife
May you enjoy the great things
That lie before you;
Children, cooing in pleasure
Pets, purring, barking, chirping,
And everything else that pets do
Food supplied eternal to your smooth-shav'n tables
Of dark oak and mahogany
Strife not permitted to your old victorian home
And a love so deep
A passion so eternal
That nothing can describe it
Not in a thousand thousand words
But only in an embrace
One single embrace to wrap up the sum of love.
A toast to you both in your new happy life
To your wondrous times approaching
A toast to you without me.

Its seems like a happy enough poem but in the end the last line 'A toast to you without me' changes the whole setting, it makes it sad.. Is there someone you want to be with but cant? I really wish you would open up more..
Anyways good poem, you get three of the funy little yellow dudes.
