thanks, its actually an abbreviated version of a poem by some woman named Radmacher(? spelling)

the full poem is :

You are simply my best time, you are my sweetest laughter, you are my most peaceful sleep and yet you still find new ways to love me.

always you will have my hand to hold. Always.

laura that's wonderful! and not too wordy at all!!

really shares the sentiment that this is a loving marriage!

It's really beautiful.

Is 5 o'clock considered afternoon or evening?

I thought it was evening, but FH says that Mariners technically consider evening as after sundown. I like the way evening sounds better

It is not too wordy, it is beautiful.
