This is a poem I wrote as a sort of tribute to my family. Hope you like it!

Here's To Everything With You

I’ve lived a life of one mess after another

And I always thought, at least we’re together

We may get nothing done day by day

But I would never trade this away

So, here’s to lazy nights and fireflies

Practical jokes by candlelight

All those times we danced

While dirty dishes waited for us inside

Here’s to fireworks and flooding creeks

Here’s to the life God’s given me

Here’s to all those times we loved and laughed and cried

Then fallen asleep beneath starlight

Here’s to when we didn’t know if we could make it through

Here’s to having the time of my life

Doing nothing, and everything, with you

Sometimes it seems as if nothing gets done

This life I’m leading like a hopeless cause

But though it feels painful in the whole run

Each and every one of these battles Christ’s won.

So, here’s to getting nothing really done

But making a difference in the long run

To all those times we sang

While watching the sinking sun

Here’s to truck beds and starry skies

Here’s to the bacon God provides

Here’s to all those times we loved those that left

To all the hard goodbyes

Here’s to when we didn’t know if we could make it through

Here’s to having the time of my life

Doing nothing, and everything, with you
