Notable Exception

I live in a world so hard

When money is tough to come by,

I live in a world where to few people care

But the notable exception is you,

I live in a world of so much fear

A world of competition where people elevate

Themselves on a pedestal just to be seen, its true

But the notable exception is you

And in world that appreciates very little at all,

Where social media has become a playground for fools

No longer used as the greatest research tool,

The notable exception is you,

In this place where people cheer on those going to war

In a place where envy is rooted at its core,

Where people don’t grasp the concept of love anymore more

I know this does not comply to you,

Because you’re the notable exception it’s true.

Man, oh, man, oh, man. I want to strive to be the notable exception now! I am pretty sure this was written to honor your wife. It's lovely!
