Dear friend, on your birthday, I have a message for you:
Always remember, friends like you are rare and actually few.

You are amazingly sweet and so much fun.
Believe me, I can compare you with no one.

We have known each other for so many years.
We have gone through our share of laughter and tears.

We sometimes have arguments and differences of opinions,
Still we have been there for each other like true companions.

Our friendship has stood time's long enough test,
And I wish you always the very best.

Just remember, you are special to me every single day.
Don't ever change, please stay forever this way!

Is it too much to ask for a pollution free world?
The condition of the environment leaves us appalled.

Can we call this progress if life comes to a halt?
We are responsible for pollution; it is our fault.

Oceans are poisoned by spilling of oil,
Pesticides are contaminating Earth's soil.

It's a pity not to see a clear blue sky
As air pollution is alarmingly high,

Global temperature is rising, glaciers are melting down.
Inaction by us will let cities drown.

It is not that we don't have any solution
To tackle and control this ongoing pollution -

Reduce plastic use, stop deforestation,
Plant trees for clean air and soil restoration,

Factories should stop draining waste to the sea,
Then marine life will improve naturally,

Composting can make the soil fertile
And we should not let debris pile,

And by the process of recycling and reuse,
We can stop our Earth's further abuse.

Do dare to dream your desired dream
No matter how impossible it may seem

Do not get deterred by what others say
Stay focused and you will find your way

But remember the road will not be easy, it's an uphill task
So be honest to yourself, and you need to sincerely ask:

Do you have it in you to do everything that it takes?
Like rising after each fall and learning from the mistakes

Do you have the patience when the road seems much too long?
Needless to say, you need to remain resolved and be strong

Do you have the courage to continue and endure?
When the outcome is unknown, nothing is for sure

Do you have the tenacity to carry on till the end?
For on that much of your success will depend.

We belong to one another, like the body and soul.
You make me complete; you make me whole.
How much I love you is beyond any measure.
You are my wealth, you're the one I truly treasure.

We belong to one another, like the earth and the moon.
You are an answer to my prayers, you came as a boon.
How do I say what joy you bring and how much pleasure?
No one can discern it because it's beyond any measure.

We belong to one another, like the waves and the sea,
Because I am a part of you, and you are a part of me.
I now understand what it means to deeply care,
And I know true love is hard to find as it's indeed rare.

We belong to one another; this is how it is meant to be,
Because how else can I define our love logically.
I cannot describe how wonderful I feel,
But I know true love has the power to heal.

When love is so true and love is so pure,
There can't be heartache, for love is the cure.
And on this Valentine's Day, on this day of love,
I give this poem to the one I am so thankful of!

You and I have made a life together
You and I complement each other

You and I are best of friends
You and I, our friendship will never end

You and I share a sacred bond
You and I, our love is forever and beyond

You and I know how to adjust
You and I have immense mutual trust

You and I are quick to forgive
You and I know this is the way to live

You and I know we aren't perfect
Yet you and I show each other respect

You and I, so faithful and true
You adore me and I adore you too

So on our anniversary, on our special date
We thank the Almighty, we thank our fate

For bringing us together, for this wonderful life,
For all the beautiful memories as husband and wife.
