You make me want to be
Better
Than I am

You, with your quiet strength
Your tender passion

I'm a cloud in the wind
You are my anchor on the sea

You release me
You ground me
You are a part of me

Sweet husband,
Gift from God
I still believe that
You
Are my Guardian Angel

Inspire me
To be more than I am,
when faced with a weary husband
a fight-ready teen
a wailing bundle

To reach for great heights,
while walking ordinary streets
and navigating familiar days

To sail farther on the seas,
than the borders that I see
beyond the four walls of home, work and play

To reach for the stars,
while standing face-to-face
with the mundane
or a common day

Inspire me
to not be me
