I heard a great description today that shouted from the rafters

That a person's life has two parts there's just before and after

My life was somewhat incomplete in the period before

But after life and wife and kids there was simply so much more

I remember each and every birth as my life became complete

With trials and tribulations and the bitter and the sweet

And my heart it slowly melted by the ones that really cared

So much that slowly day by day this broken soul repaired

It wasn't quick and I didn't sense the awesome change me

But I felt the pride and love and joy for my special family

You've accepted me for what I am and helped me rise above

Given me so very much, a life that's overflowed with love

So when one day I am asked about my life's philosophy

My response I reckon now my will most probably be

That long ago I heard this thing that shouted from the rafters

My life has had simply two parts, before family and after.

Love you guys!
