I decided to dive further in
I know I was blessed then
And 34 years later, still am
I married a wild redhead
And somehow she tamed me
She told me the truth
She gave me proof
She was queen of the land
My life would be complete
I'd escape fate and defeat
Because she was there
She gave me hope
She soothed my soul
My love poured out
She strengthened me
She saved me
Gave me a goal
To endure this foolish flesh
To embrace all I now have
(Dedicated to my wife, who gave me more than life, but a reason to live)
