The Fortunate One (Poem)

The Fortunate One

I've never lived up to my potential.
I've never been all I could be.
So I can't understand
why I've been so blessed
to have you, here, next to me.

How did I get so lucky, babe?
There's those that say it's a long time
comin' to me.
Don't know if I agree.
How did I get so lucky, babe?
I don't feel like I deserve those gifts
from up above;
to be wrapped up in your love.
So how did I get so lucky?

I haven't always chose the right path.
I haven't done all I could do.
So it just blows my mind
that when you look at me,
you're askin' God the same thing too.

How did I get so lucky, babe?
There's those that swear it's a long time
comin' to me.
Can't say that I agree.
How did I get so lucky, babe?
I wish I knew just what I did
to be so blessed.
I haven't given all my best.
So how did I get so lucky?

I know that when this day is done

I am the fortunate one.

I've been gifted with your love,

and I'm so lucky.
