Life to me?
I wake up in the morning
See my husband next to me
I thank God for him
As he looks at me

Life to me?
My Jimmy-dog puts his paws on me
Tells me he has to pee
Then comes in from the rain
Shaking all over me

Life to me?
When a child reaches for my hand
To guide her/him to the cookie jar
Or falls down and I wipe the tears away
Then says... "I'll be ok"

Life to me?
Is all around, the air I breath
The soft wind blowing
As I sit under the old oak tree

Life to me?
Is saying you love me
For now and ever after
And most of all...
My sweet mother in heaven
Who taught me...the things I know
