Stuff of Life
The Booth Brothers
Two bikes and a football in the driveway A couple of cap guns dropped on the front porch Matchbox cars and skateboards in the kitchen Green army men piled by the bedroom door I stepped across a catcher’s mitt, leaned in to kiss my wife We both smiled and laughed about All the stuff of life Gotta write a check for next week’s field trip One for this year’s fifth new pair of tennis shoes We just found that one is needing glasses The other’s braces go on in a month or two These days being family really comes at quite a price Such are the times that we live in For all the stuff of life Bridge: More than all these things I want to give them All that I work so hard to provide What I want for them to have the most is What matters most and that is what’s inside May they have peace, no matter what, I’ll love them May it give them strength in these uncertain days May they have dreams that fill their lives with purpose Full of joy and hope from living life with faith But most of all may their hearts burn with passion to serve Christ ‘Cause more than all these other things That’s the stuff of life
