Living happily isWhat we need to survive,So how does one keepThe magic alive?How do you light a sparkThat never goes out?And how does one live a lifeWithout fear or doubt? How do some people manageTo keep their love strong?And how do some couplesAlways feel like they belong?What do you need to doTo stay in love foreverAnd make each day specialAnd grow fonder together? Well, these very questionsYou must address every day.You must take the timeTo go out of your way,To always share loveAnd always share laughter,To do whatever it takesTo live happily ever after. Here is a recipeI think is a must,So let's begin withAlways having trust.Don't forget it's importantTo have total respect,And to always stay loyalTo keep your love perfect. You must communicateEach and every day.Three special little wordsYou must never forget to say,"I love you." It's amazingHow these words make you feelHappy, safe, and valued,And they will keep your love real. A simple act of kindnessGoes a long, long way.Blend it with understandingAnd you can't go astray.Don't forget friendship.It will help you to cope.Add a sprinkle of faithAnd an abundance of hope. Remember your smile.It is beautiful to see.It can brighten one's day.It can make you feel free.So my wish for you bothIs you always have love and laughter,And I pray that you will enjoyYour happily ever after.
