The words

Jesus, You never asked me to be perfect. You only asked me to remember, and to be grateful.

So I don't have to be strong to impress anyone. I don't have to carry everything alone, just to spare the people I love.

Now I notice the small things. The way my wife waits for me. The hand that finds mine without a word. And every small thing makes me grateful.

And I see it now. Making her happy is no longer a demand. It is my way of saying thank You.

So let me bring her joy. Let me make her feel the love. Let me make her feel chosen. My dear love, this is for you.

You chose me first. Now let me choose her, every day, just like You did for me. Amen.
