On opening this bottle,
You found a message, deep.
But more than just a simple verse
Find love for you to keep.

For hidden down inside the words
Is treasure greater than
The gentle song of joyous larks
Or pirate’s golden plan.

The message holds my constant love;
The meter holds my heart
The rhymes that tie together
Will never let us part.

So anytime you read it
Please know the gold that shines
In treasures, buried, can’t compare
With the love within these lines.

The day I met you,
I knew my life would never be the same.
I never believed in love at first sight,
but that all changed in an instant.
Now I don’t remember what
life was like without you,
and even though I don’t always
find the time to tell you,
I wanted to let you know that my love
for you has never faltered,
but has grown stronger each and every day.
