Today We Are In A War Against

It Was Hard For Me, As A Father, To Imagine Going Through What My Birth Mom Went Through, To Raise A Child Inside Of Her For Nine Months, And Then Have To Say Goodbye. And So It's Hard For Me To Understand That Pain And That Process.

I've Always Found That The Poorer The Places That I Go, The More Smiles I See, And The More Happiness I See.

There's Sometimes When I Feel Really Balanced, And There's Other Times When I Feel Like I'm Trying To Keep Juggling Too Many Balls In The Air, And I Feel Like I'm On The Edge Of Dropping All Of Them And Having Them All Land On My Head, You Know? Scheduling Is A Big Part Of It, And The Other Is Just Remaining Flexible And Keeping A Sense Of Humor About Things.

There Are So Many Things To Be Worried About, And I Wanted To Make A Record That People Could Put On, And It Would Lift Them Up The Way The Sun Did For Me Each Day.

It's Also Hard For Me To Understand Growing Up Not Knowing Where I Came From. I Searched For My Parents - I Started When I Was Twenty; I Found Both My Mother And My Father When I Was Twenty-two. Trying To Catch Up On Twenty-two Years That We Can Never Get Back, Trying To Reconcile That - That's A Hard Thing For Me.
