[hometext] => dedicated to my wife
[bodytext] => The Raft We built a raft, When joined in life. You named me husband. I called you wife. Our hopes, hewn timbers, Our spirits, the twine. We oared toward the current, Our Love was blind. The current was strong, The eddies swirled, Our raft was strengthened, A baby girl. I steered the course, You, a child to tend, As another waited, Around the river's bend. The rocks shattered timbers. They sliced the twine. My life in your hands. Your's in mine. The river parted, The girls chose their course. They've built their rafts, For better or worse. Their courses differed, But they'll make their way, Til their rivers join, Some future day. Our timbers stay strong, Our twine remains true. As our raft is guided, With my love for you.
