Life is such a blessing By Franklin Price 6/10/2014 (edited 6/10/2018) 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
