To Have and To Hold

I received a call today
At 1 o'clock in the morning
From my weeping stepmother
Oh how she wouldn't stop mourning

Soon as I picked up the phone
She burst into some tears
On how she hated the relationship
That she had been in for years

She began to tell me
The struggles that she had
And how she was sorry for calling
Man she felt so bad

My dad and she had fought
Over the issue of money
She no longer understood why
She was no more of his honey

Oh she was so confused
I wished that I was by her side
But I couldn't be there
So I gave her a choice to decide

You can stay with him
But think of what you're doing
To the kids that look up to both
Personalities can be so gluing

Just then she had realized
What was needed to be done
She looked at me and winked
Go and have some fun

I think I'll just stay single
And face the odds alone
I mean, it's too late to mingle
Just hang up the fucking phone

As I listened to her orders
I began to think
Of the blessing that God gave me
As I picked up my drink

I am so grateful
For what he has given to me
Sometimes I wonder
Why it took long to see

That the person I love
The apple of my eye
A man named JDG
Could ever make me cry

But not tears of pain
But tears of joy
How this made me realize
My gratefulness for this boy

As a wise Leo Tolstoy said
What counts in making a happy marriage
Is not so much how compatible you are,
But how you deal with incompatibility.

And this is something that he and I Do
Oh so beautifully
I love you JDG
Thank you Baby
