I have a beautiful picture of my girlfriend and me by a lake, and using some software, I managed to animate the water in the lake and convert it to a gif as an animated gif. I want to add text that fades in and dissapears too...a poem infact, that I wrote for her. How can I do this?
 
Sounds cheesier then Mount Cheddar.

I think Flash CS4 is the program you are looking for.
It's expensive to buy, but you can get a trial since you're doing this one thing.
It's really easy to use and can do the thing you want in minutes.

I am an experienced Flash CS4 user and could probably do this in literally 30 seconds with Flash.

Another option is to use Gimp, an extremely popular free photoshop-like image manipulator with Gap, a plugin for gimp that is especially made for animating stuff and is often used in high-budget movies (Star trek and Harry Potter are a couple) to touch up special effects.

I will warn you though, Gap wasn't created for the inexperienced user and is alien to most people.
