Unique Anniversary Gift

"Perfect! I really do want to thank you Allen. I know my wife will love the poem you have written. Giving jewelry, flowers and the common anniversary gifts are great but I believe she will truly be touched by the gift you have provided. Again, Thanks!"

One Of Us

Name: Jerrell Adcox

Poem written for: My wife Kelley

Why do you want the poem written: Aug 18^th will be our 17th anniversary. I am currently deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. While serving in the Air Force for the past 18 years I have unfortunately missed a few anniversaries, birthdays and numerous holidays. With that said, my wife has always been there for me and our daughter sometimes taking the load all on her own. Her selfless actions have kept our family strong and ensured a stable home without any regards to her own health and well being. She sacrifices every minute of everyday to ensure everything and everyone else is taken care of first. Some may say that it's the military way of life that has made her the person she is but nothing could be further from the truth. She has always put everyone before herself and asks for nothing in return except my love and respect. I always try to let her know just how much love and respect I have for her but I just don’t know how to let her know how true that is. She is truly my best friend and the love of my life.

What style of poem would you prefer: Happy and romantic

What are the key messages you would like to send: I want her to know that I consider myself the luckiest man alive to have her as my wife and that she and our daughter mean everything to me. I want nothing more than to grow old with her and spend the rest of my life with her.

Do you have any funny, sad, happy, embarrassing or otherwise memorable moments that you would like to share: We've always said that the longer we're together the more we become just like one another but the joke is that she's becoming more like me other than me like her. Our daughter simply put, is a perfect clone of me and she knows that. She refuses to accept that she is becoming more like us even though our daughter tends to agree with me. My daughter and I are more so laid back, crazy and somewhat silly acting. She's always been strong, serious and shall I say, always well behaved and we jokingly tell her that she may as well, as we put it, cross over to the dark side and accept her destiny to become one of us. She just laughs and says, "Never".

Other comments or thoughts: Just that we both feel that we are connected to one another in a way that neither one of us can explain. The bond between us is stronger than anything we have ever encountered.

One Of Us

Kelley, as you know I'm not there,
I'm sorry, I'm on some distant sand,
but I just wanted to say "I love you",
and I think these are words you'll understand.

Because I have been 'Blued' for 18 years,
and in that time, I've missed many a special event,
but having said that, you've been there for me,
and I should know, my angel has been heaven sent.

Because you've often taken the load on your own,
your selfless actions have kept the family strong,
and never with any regard to your health or well being,
you've kept the home stable, all along.

You sacrifice every minute of every day,
and always, you are firmly last in the queue,
and Kelley, I just wanted to say "thanks",
yes, I'm very proud of all that you do.

Some say it's the military way,
some have said it's just the military life,
but I know nothing could be further from the truth,
I'm so very proud of my wonderful wife.

Because you always put everyone ahead of you,
and all you ask is my love and respect in return,
but I'm not sure I've expressed that so well,
so all my past efforts, I think I'll burn.

Because you are so much more than a wife,
and I'm going to tell you this before these lines end,
not only are you the love of my life,
yes indeed, Kelley, you are my very best friend.

I consider myself the luckiest man alive,
you and our daughter mean the very world to me,
and I just wanted to thank you for being you,
you've made my world a great place to be.

I want nothing more than to grow old with you,
I want you to see our love etched on my face,
because I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you,
and I promise, for most of it, we'll be in the same place.

But our bond is stronger than anything we know,
even though our relationship was a bit rocky in the start
but Kelley, I want you to know that you're here with me,
we're always connected, no matter how many miles we're apart.

But the longer we're together the more we become alike,
so I think you should give up and stop all the fuss,
come on! Get crazy, cross over to the dark side,
yes Kelley, it's time you became one of us!

But in the meantime, just know that I love you,
in truth, I love you with all my heart and soul,
for with you in my life, I am complete, yes,
you're the one that makes me completely whole.

And tonight, please go outside and look skywards,
and there you will see a twinkling star,
and that will be me, sending you my love,
telling you exactly just how wonderful you are.

So I'll finish by saying Happy 17th Anniversary,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
so here's to you Kelley, you're truly beautiful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
