An anniversary for a man or a woman is such an important. It represents the time a couple have been together, what they have achieved and how far they have come. Anniversarys are especially meaningful to women because It is a day where her partner can spoil her and make her feel special. It is also a time for a couple to reflect on the year they have spent together. There are many many anniversary gifts for women available to purchase either from the internet or in local shops. However, this should be the one time a man puts that extra effort to find a really special anniversary gift for women. At the end of the day there is nothing better than making your wife feel and appreciated. You want her to know just how much you appreciate all those little things she does for you. A box of chocolates, a bottle of wine, or even a day at a spar is just some of the common anniversary gifts for women. But these anniversary gifts for women are almost expected are they not? Now is the time to find something a little more sincere, something that shows you have made an effort and not immediately gone for a standard anniversary gift for women. You may decide a poem is the perfect anniversary gift for women but do not have a clue where to start or how to write one. Here is an extract from an anniversary poem written for an anniversary gift for women Roads When I look back and think of your past, I can’t help but come up with a heartfelt smile, two journeys, now as one, that both started in The Emerald Isle. You were both brought up struggling, you came from a similar background,

bu

t it took a trip to the mainland, before it was true love that you found. You met at a dance in Wales, Mum thought Dad was rather continental, maybe something to do with his dark complexion and the fact, like me, he can be a little temperamental. And as they built their roads together, Tom was digging his while Nora worked in a shop and those roads led to London, where their single lives came to a full stop. And then they moved to Leeds, to be with Willie and Cis and that has been the secret of their marriage, best summed up as simple as this: They’ve been flexible, they’ve adapted, they’ve certainly moved with the times, one of the many reasons why we love them and one of the many reasons for these rhymes. Dad continued working all over the north and Mum had a couple of kids along the way and then they bought their first house in Aberdeen Walk and I guess that was a very proud day. Mum had two more boys, so now there was Michael, Brian, Philip and Jack and those roads started to lead somewhere, they were both certainly on the right track. Because Dad started his own steel fixing company, with his mates Micky Preston and Sean Kenny and that business grew and grew, the first few employees turned into many. Copyright Allen Jesson 2008

A gift that is poetry is a perfect anniversary gift for women because there will be nothing else like it, the words will be unique and you can express your inner feelings, say all the things you just do not get time to say on a daily basis and best of all you can show your partner you have really made an effort on this extra special day.
