Eighteen years, a journey vast, Built on love that's meant to last. Two kids, gems with laughter bright, Guide our days and light the night. Feline friends, a soft parade, Waltz through life, in shadows laid. While a dog, with love unshaken, Balances the scene, wagging and fragrant. Through storms of sickness, tides of health, We've wagered love, unmatched by wealth. A glance ahead, a whispered cheer— Perhaps we'll gamble on another year.
