You’re a star at the center of my universe. Everyone seems to revolve around you. You soak up all the attention like a sponge. I always knew you’d be a celebrity in your own rite, but I admire how you’ve always kept me grounded.

Your face lights up my world with your glorious rays. You gleam with picturesque perfection. Whenever I’m feeling down, you always find a way to brighten my day. For that, I am forever grateful.

Your heat brings a vibrant energy to all around me. You’re literally the life of the party! When you walk into a room, the entire vibe and atmosphere change. You make everyone want to get up and move!

I love the warmth of your embrace in May and June — it reminds me of home. You make me sweat in the heat of the summer. In the chill of winter, you warm my bones and make me feel like I’m sitting with you by the fire. Other couples look at us in envy, because we’ve never lost that “flame”.

From sunrise to sunset, you stand there. Just waiting for me to glimpse upon your great beauty. Sadly, I can’t, because I will never shine as brightly as you do. It brings tears to my eyes, which you gently wipe away as they stream down my face.

No matter what, you’ve always been there for me. Thank you for all you’ve done and for all that you are: my sunshine.
