Sixteen years hand in hand
Through every joy through every plan
You built a home a love so wide
With open arms with heart and pride
You put your dreams upon the shelf
For tiny hands that needed help
Through sleepless nights and lullabies
You gave them wings you gave them skies
But love's not measured in the time we lose
It's in the moments in the paths we choose
Through every chapter every turn we grow
And now my love it's Love 40
First days of school a quiet house
No little feet to chase around
Now it's your time to spread your wings
To chase the light to dream new things
You gave us roots so strong so deep
A place of warmth a love complete
Now take my hand let's write anew
This next adventure us we and you
But love's not measured in the time we lose
It's in the moments in the paths we choose
Through every chapter every turn we grow
And now my love it's Love 40
Through every storm through every vow
We've held on tight look at us now
Through sickness health the highs the lows
We stand as one our love still flows
So here's to you!
