IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

A Tribute To JV and Myra 



On Our Wedding Day
August 30, 2014

Ours was a collegiate romance.
At the school library where it all begun. 

We came out fresh from high school; 
Our dreams were full of anticipations.
We set our goals towards the future; 
We're determined to attain success 
or face a failure. 

Hard at work and studies in mind; 
We knew nothing about the cupid's sign.

Until one day at the library,
Myra and I were destined to meet. 
And there, our fate was sealed. 

Myra, in fact, was my classmate 
She's nice and kind;
Demure, petite and sweet.
While I was the quiet and shy type;
A gentleman by and large, a good guy. 

It was love at first sight 
That drew us close together 
after our first meeting.
It grew and blossomed into 
a beautiful friendship.
We cultivated tenderness 
and nurtured  trust 
for each other. 
For seven years we remained steady 
and committed sweethearts;
A relationship unscathed. 
Surreal to speak, we kept 
composed, cool and disciplined. 

We believed that there's a high force 
who guides us...
Back in the days of courtship, 
We're under the radar of my future in-laws and mine.
Myra's Dad had always been my buddy. 
Her Mom was as affectionate and motherly. 
I knew I was a medium in a petri dish of their loving surveillance.
In the end, I found favour in their watchful eyes.
I won their hearts
After seven long years of building 
a symbiotic rapport with them all. 

Destiny would play a big part 
in our lives together. 
We're blessed with a blissful marriage 
With Liam and Klint as the testimony 
Of our strong commitment for each other.
Our children are the best things that ever happened in our lives. 

The vow we pledged didn't go for naught. 
Our love will stay, seven years 
and more ... 
beyond... 
The cord that binds us 
will hold us stronger 
in years to come. 
Our faith will keep us anew 
for times till eternity. 

HAPPY 7th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
MY DEAREST WIFE MYRA!!!
