"Chicken" Dinner Invited, for the first time, it might well be the last. A tux was too much, a swimsuit too little. I thought I would dance, turns out I can't. I don't tell jokes well, I am not the life of the party. Yet, I tell you true, I will take care of her, Sir, I mean... Ma'am. the very best that I can. She will never do without if and there is anything... to be provided. Our children will be safe, until I die. I will teach God, family and country... until the end. Blessings, I ask... to take her, hand. To give her everything, that I can, until there is... nothing left, to give.

The humbleness of this delighted me. "A tux was too much, a swimsuit too little. I thought I would dance, turns out I can't. I don't tell jokes well, I am not the life of the party. " It has an entertaining way about it, and a love.
