Life is such a blessing

Life is such a blessing, of that I'm here to tell
It's not the money that you have although that's kinda swell
It's a happy life and satisfaction to be just where you are
Which means you hung your choices on your best shining star
My star may not be your star, we all pick a different one
What matters is the one you choose, will be your special sun
Will shine above all others, of this, please have no doubt
Choose your star most carefully, never let the light go out
My star for me is happiness and love throughout my life
I've done quite well in that respect, I have a super wife
I never doubt she loves me and she knows I love her too
We work at building liking, a somewhat harder thing to do
We give and take and fuss and cuss but really very little
We think ahead because of love to meet mostly in the middle
Sometimes the sharing changes and becomes a ninety - ten
We work our way through everything, to the middle once again
It isn't always easy, you must give it all you've got
Remember the very best you get, is only half the pot
It isn't all about you, get that thought out of you mind
Or you can tell your foolish self, to kiss you own behind
My eyes are open, the light is bright, I found my star for life
It's not in space, it's here on earth, it is my darling wife
I work with her, she works with me, we've made a life together
We've seen the sun ,and felt the rain, and every kind of weather
There's nothing we can't do, if we come to it as one
Sharing, balanced, or imbalanced, try to have a little fun
See that there is nothing, that at the end, can't come out right
Resolve to never go to bed in the middle of a fight
The things I've said have worked for me, after all it is my star
One year to half a century, that's how far along we are
The two of us together just my best friend and me
The star selected ,shining bright, for all the world to see
