More to Life than Me

My baby boy will be here soon and I have the best wife a man could ask for.
I cry every time I think of what God's given me, I couldn't ask for more.
My family's close and they've all supported me through hard times.
Even when I felt I was through, when I just felt like dyin.

I never knew I could love this much, or this hard.
I've fallen to my knees before God and let him in my heart.
I wanna be the man my son can respect and learn to be.
It should be easy with the people who surround me.

His mama loves me more than I've ever deserved.
Even when I've pushed her to the limit, down to her last nerve.
Now she's made my life worth living even longer.
She's made my heart stronger.

I've got friends most would die for.
They've been there for years to help me off the floor.
You all know who you are.
No matter how much life throws our way, know that our friendship can still go that far.

My parents have done there best to raise me right.
To them I'd say I'm sorry for all the sleepless nights.
I know someday soon I'll know how hard that was to sit and stare at the wall.
But I know you'll be there to answer my midnight calls.

To my siblings, you all make me a better man.
I'll never be able to thank you enough and I know I can't.
We have so many times together I'll never forget.
Taking for granted the time we had as kids I'll always regret.

I've got some of the most generous and loving grandparents a man could ask for.
The love you all have given me guides me through everyone of life's doors.
I'm sorry that it seems I've forgotten where I came from.
Seems that work and life passes time til you've got none.

I pray that through me my baby boy will learn what not to do.
I pray he never forgets to find time for me and all of you.
I hope he gets his family values from the one's who have always loved me.
You people have no idea how much or how often you've helped me see.

You helped see that there's more to life than just me.

To my family, friends, and beautiful wife,
Thank you all and I couldn't have made it this far in my life without any one of you. If it ever seems you haven't heard from me as often as you should, call me on it. It seems like I get caught up in taking care of society and forget about my own family sometimes. I'm still learning how to juggle both but I'm trying my best. Soon I'll have a son to open eyes a little wider. To him I say, Son, never forget your roots. No matter how deep life gets, Its never to deep for us, We don't wear tennis shoes, we wear boots. I love you son and Your coming to a wonderful family. You'll see in time. I love all of you and I hope you enjoy what I've wrote.
