With every step, she'd watched, protecting me
God blessed me, my mother was truly loving
My wife Beth is a woman, every bit as strong
Life with her and my son, has been stunning
I try never to wonder, how I made it this far
I am grateful, not everybody enters a life
Experiencing others who make life better
And they made me happier than I'd be
If I hadn't known them, no child or wife
I could never have become fulfilled
For their joy became joy, a hope for joy
While bitterness is a seed planted
Without joy or love as a harvest
Destroying hope, decaying time
I lived to find love, and I did
I am grateful
