A Unique First Anniversary Gift A great idea for any anniversary, A Gift of Poetry is a truly romantic way of expressing your innermost thoughts and feelings.
(Here's a good example of what can be achieved. Dylan was going to be celebrating his first anniversary and wanted a traditional paper first anniversary gift for his wife, Natasha. Dylan has kindly given his permission for his poem and story to be published)
The Prince and The Princess
What is your name :
Dr. Dylan Hirsch
Do you have any
other comments or thoughts : as mentioned above, I basically want the
poem to tell our story: How we met, our struggles and experiences and now our
future.
The Prince and The Princess
Natasha, I'd like to tell you a
wonderful story,
I think you'll guess quickly who
I'm talking about,
because if I said it was a magical
fairy tale,
and it's about a princess, who's
beautiful on the in and the out.
Now the prince met his princess
through a mutual friend,
for the sake of the tale, let's
give her Margaret's name,
and although the prince had a great
meal cooked for him,
a nervous someone had drank all the
wine, just the same.
Soon after, the prince had to
travel to some far off country,
but warm and heartfelt e-mails and
letters warmed that land,
and although these two lovers
shared a long distance relationship,
there's was obviously nothing
physical, you understand.
The prince also enjoyed some
surprise visits to the island,
and he was especially excited about
Valentine's Day,
and they had some great times
together on St. Kitts,
Sunshine's, Killer Bees, lobster,
Irie Lime, what more can I say?
One craving for lobster once made
the princess quite sick,
but hopefully, it was worth the
wait after that horrible boat ride,
but then time moved on and the
prince got to thinking:
I couldn't pick a better wife -
even if I tried.
He realized just how loving and
beautiful the princess was,
but more than that, she was so fun,
hip and cool,
and then she moved to Minnesota to
be with her man,
and she worked two jobs to get him
through Veterinary School.
It was a test to see how they
worked and lived together,
and apart from a few burnt pots,
everything went just fine,
and when they finally moved back
home to New York,
they found a lot of regret in just
about every line.
Because the prince did not give her
as much time as he wanted,
it's hard being a
Veterinarian, striving out on your own,
and sadly, the prince never really
got to see his princess,
and never really gave her the love
he should have shown.
But now that they have bought their
first house together,
they can start to repair the wounds
with a stitch and suture,
because they'll spend more quality
time rebuilding their lives,
and there will be plenty of time
for esters in their future.
And the prince knows he can't live
without his princess,
as they've been through a lot in
these last nine years,
but he knows they'll create a
family from their values,
and they'll be so much more joy and
laughter than tears.
And Natasha, the prince wants to
say "he loves you",
I guess that's what these words are
really for,
here's to you and here's to our
first anniversary,
and here's to our everlasting love,
for evermore.

Doctor Dylan kindly replied:
"Dear Allen,
Thank you for the first draft of the poem.
It looks great!!!
I love the way you worded the poem, Natasha loves when I make up stories about us, using the third person such as "here is a story about a little boy and a little girl", maybe it would be more personal to us if you worded that way. Thank you and yes you can use our
names and poem on your website
thank you again, DYLAN HIRSCH DVM "
