        <title>Happy Anniversary, Jill - Slowing Down the Blur - kevinmorrison&apos;s Blog - Raising Bakersfield</title>

        <description>Seven years ago today, which happened to be the hottest day of that summer, Jill and I got married in Pasadena.&amp;nbsp; I was recently reading a poem I wrote a month after we met, and it still applies today
Jill,
&amp;nbsp;
It wasn&amp;rsquo;t that long ago
When I first looked into your eyes.
I saw your heart
And I saw your soul.
There, I saw a beauty
Wearing no disguise.
&amp;nbsp;
My heart leapt up
When I heard you speak
Of a love for God,
And of a love for children,
Of the simple life
And happiness you seek.
&amp;nbsp;
I thought on that night
That I might have found her;
The woman I want
And the woman I need
The woman God meant for me
Now and forever.
&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;
Since then
My love has grown stronger.
Your soft touch
And your sweet voice
All make me wish
That forever was longer.
&amp;nbsp;
I love when we are together.
I cannot bear when you are away.
You fill my heart.
And you make me whole
You are the reason
I breathe every day.
&amp;nbsp;
I never knew real happiness.
I only knew content.
Then you took my hand
And with it, you took my heart
You showed me
What &amp;ldquo;True Love&amp;rdquo; meant.
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;
We talk about the future
And all the things we might do.
Whatever it is
And wherever we are,
Every day will be magical
As long as I am with you.
&amp;nbsp;
I love you, Jill
And I want you to understand.
I can&amp;rsquo;t give you the world.
I can only give you mine.
This is my promise to you;
That you will always have my hand.
&amp;nbsp;
With all my Love,
Kevin

&lt;p&gt;Roses are red&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;sweet kevin!  i wrote my hubby a poem for our seven year anniversary last month :).  I never got around to buying a card because of the kids, so i took a recent picture of the two of us and faded it out in my photo program and then overlaid it with the poem and stuck it in a frame.  charles loves it!  now, i&#039;m glad i never got a chance to buy a card because he likes the poem so much better.  happy anniversary!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
