Love's Sweet Climb

From Erie where the lakeside breeze blows free

To Clifton Park where you found home with glee

A laugh that echoes, infectious and loud

A spirit so vibrant, you're always proud

We danced to the 'Refrigerators' beat so fine

You gave me a line about Kilmer and Shu, how divine

Told me to rent 'The Saint' from Blockbuster's door

A pick-up line I couldn't ignore

Oh, the tales we tell, the laughter we share

From Garlic John's to Wally World Fairs

Twenty-six years and counting, love's sweet climb

With you, Dave, every moment's sublime

Friday nights at Barnsider, candles aglow

At our wedding, drums played, love's rhythm in tow

"What I Like About You" sang in the air

A romantic tune, a love beyond compare

Brian and Jenna, our pride, our joy

Brody, Colby, Sara, Zoe, pets that never cloy

Rollercoasters and thrills, we rode a thousand times

Family adventures, in laughter, we climb

Oh, the tales we tell, the laughter we share

From Garlic John's to Wally World Fairs

Twenty-six years and counting, love's sweet climb

With you, Dave, every moment's sublime

Drumming passion, Mohegan Sun's craps

Fishing with Jeff, laughing as he dances on laps

A momma's boy, Bev's pride and joy

A Viking fan, and the band "YES" brings you joy

Retired now, handyman skills you hone

Fixing and mending, making our house a home

LaFiesta Thursdays, happy hour's call

With the boys, you stand tall

Vegas Strip and the Fat Boy's slick slide

Cruising Virgin Voyages, ocean's wide

Laughter and love, our life's funny tale

Together forever, our love will prevail

So here's to us, our love's endless ride

With laughter and joy, you're always by my side

Dave, my dear, with you I am blessed

In humor and love, our lives are the best
