"How's married life?" Bruce asked us
But I just wanted to talk about him
How the hospital was, how the treatment's going
And if he's actively still feeling sick
"What's the biggest surprise you've learned so far?"
He inquired with sincere curiosity
As he's facing down the biggest challenge of his life
I'm amazed that he still cares so much about me
And while I look up to him as a master of life
He looks up to me as I stand next to my wife
And says, "Don't be a fool like me, don't take so long to see
"That loving her is the greatest work
That can ever be accomplished by your heart or your hands
Your soul must never be deterred
No music, dream, or job can claim a greater demand
And train your heart to be content
You'll cripple yourself if you're always aiming for more
And at the end I'll hope you spent
Your life, above all other things, pursuing the Lord"
"Do you see my wife?" Bruce asked
"God has been good to me. Now look at your wife," Bruce said
"God has been good to you"
