Vicki Ashby - Victoria Point

Real Love Is.....
this the poem we read at our wedding ceremony which we celebrate our 1st anniversary on 20th. I read this to Phil yesterday, and had a tear in my eye thinking of the lovely day we shared nearly 12 months ago. Our love is stronger each & everyday - if that is possible.

REAL LOVE IS THE LOOK IN SOMEONE’S EYES THAT IS MEANT FOR YOU ALONE,
A GENTLE KISS THAT SAYS EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.

A HUG THAT WRAPS AROUND YOU AND KEEPS YOU SAFE AND WARM,
A HAND HELD IN JUST THE RIGHT WAY AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME,
THAT LAST SWEET WORD WHISPERED AT THE END OF THE EVENING.

REAL LOVE IS A SECRET TOLD BY ONE HEART AND GUARDED BY ANOTHER,
A BELIEF THAT SOMEONE KNOWS YOU AS NO ONE ELSE CAN,
THE LITTLE DAY TO DAY ACTS OF THOUGHTFULLNESS THAT GO UNMENTIONED BUT NOT UNNOTICED.

REALS LOVE IS A FEELING THAT NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE,
THE DEEPEST PART OF YOU REMAINS WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE,
A DREAM THAT COMES TRUE WITH TIME AND TRUST AND A LITTLE LUCK,
A PROMISE OF FOREVER KEPT IN COUNTLESS WAYS, EVERY HOUR, EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE TOGETHER........

Zoe Shipley - Bellbird Park

Adam, our first valentine,
I'm sure wont be our last
Every second with you
Has really been a blast!

I'd give you all the flowers,
And chocolates in the world
It makes me so very happy,
To say that I'm your girl.

And when we're old and wrinkly,
We'll look back with a glance,
And say, "Thats when we could remember our names,
and didn't soil our pants" !

Bronwyn - MacGregor

To my best friend, soul mate and husband John, Love you forever. Happy Valentine's. Bron

Lawrie Swanborough - Toowoomba

To my love Darls
I know there is not a lot of feeling expressed I dont buy you flowers or write you poems I just want you to know that you are the only light that shines my way I love you babe you are my rock...

Allan Ballinger - Esk

Love is the answer, but while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions.

Andy McCall - Augustine Heights

Darlene I love you so much , we have been through thick and thin in previous marriages and we have come through the other side , they say everyone has their soulmate and i know that both you and I believe that we have found that special mate ! I love you with all my heart .
Andy

Vanessa Walker - Crows Nest

I want my husband to kiss me slowly and forgive me quickly, it's the simple things that he does for me, a bunch of handpicked wild flowers, taking my hand when were cruising along the highway on his motor bike, a huge chocolate freckle brought on his way home from work, this is why he is so special..When we married 17 years ago we never said marriage would be easy but we did say our marriage would be worth it!!! He has given me two beautiful children and for this I am blessed. It has been 4 years since we last went away together so a getaway would be a little slice of heaven...

Danae - Toowoomba

If you are from Venice
And the red planet is mine
I’ll meet you at Jupiter
To experience things fine.

Shane Woods - Plainland

Night is falling my heart is calling
I feel so lonely I need you only,
but I’ve got a teddy that I take to bed
if you'll be my Valentine
I’ll take you instead
"Love you Leis"

Belinda Overitt - Redbank

My one I love is my husband Matthew. He does so much for me all year long and sometimes I take it for granted. I am very lucky to have met him and to have him in my life. He is the best

Roslyn Ryan - Marsden

Life without you in it would be no life at all for me, Everyday we have been together over the past 33yrs good or bad has been worth every second of it......Love you here and beyond into the next life your Princess Roslyn

Karen Dyer - Daisy Hill

My very dear beloved Paul. Long before the friendship with you, I could not imagine that there was such a man in the world, which was designed just for me. I wondered if I would always be alone, because no one answered the callings of my heart, no one satisfied my aching soul. I almost stopped believing in love. And then you came into my life. You took possession of my heart, my soul, my everything.......

Julie - Raceview

My hubby Adam, you had your midlife crisis and wandered off last year but you are a real man for coming back to right your wrongs and are now 10 times the man I married. I love you all over again, I can only imagine what a night away from 3 screaming kids would be like...

Lesley Roberts - Ironbark

Your fluffs are noisy and they smell
But I love you and you can tell
Cause we've been together for over thirty years
Not many fights, hardly any tears
You whinge a lot, and have gone bald
But I am fat and have gotten old
Together we’re a great old team
I s’pose we’ll last, part of the scheme
Too old to change, don’t want to do that
My special biggy from your dingbat
