A custom anniversary song for Mike

[Verse 1] Nine years of weathered roads, Nine years of holding on, Through every storm that came our way, We found a brighter dawn. And when the nights got heavy, When faith was all we had, We learned that love means staying, Through the good times and the bad. [Chorus] Love me, love my cats, That's the vow we made, You and me, fishing in the dark, While all our worries fade. Through every fight we made it, Every wound was healed with grace, Mike, there's no other heart I'd rather hold in this old place. [Verse 2] Superior was singing, The waves against the shore, A boombox playing Elton, Two kids who wanted more. No church but that old cabin, No crowd but sky and stone, We promised in the water We'd never walk alone. [Chorus] Love me, love my cats, That's the vow we made, You and me, fishing in the dark, While all our worries fade. Through every fight we made it, Every wound was healed with grace, Mike, there's no other heart I'd rather hold in this old place. [Bridge] Remember Fort Wayne, that broken tent, The rain, the laughing, every cent — We had so little, yet we had it all, Two brave hearts answering the call. [Verse 3] So here's to new beginnings, To roads we've yet to roam, Wherever life may take us, Your arms are still my home. With courage as our compass And faith to light the way, I'd marry you, my Mike, Again and every day. [Chorus] Love me, love my cats, That's the vow we made, You and me, fishing in the dark, While all our worries fade. Through every fight we made it, Every wound was healed with grace, There's no other heart I'd rather hold in this old place. [Outro] By the water, by the shore, I'll love you more and more.
