Had God given me a loving, supportive family,
But had I not inherited their advantages,
It would have been enough for me. Dienu.

Had He given me my family’s advantages,
But had I not inherited their quirks,
It would have been enough for me. Dienu.

Had He given me my family’s quirks,
But not the wisdom with which to use them,
It would have been enough for me. Dienu.

Had He given me the ability to use my genes to advantage,
But not the appreciation of how we interact,
It would have been enough for me. Dienu.

Had He given me an appreciation of our interactions,
But had not given me loving, supportive siblings with whom to share life,
It would have been enough for me. Dienu.

Had He given me loving, supportive siblings with whom to share life,
But had not blessed me with a loving, understanding, appreciative husband,
It would have been enough for me. Dienu.

Had He given me a loving, understanding, appreciative husband,
But had that husband not come with a wonderfully loving family of his own,
It would have been enough for me. Dienu.

Had He given me a wonderfully loving family-in-law,
But had they not had blessings and quirks they had shared with my husband,
It would have been enough for me. Dienu.

Had He given me a husband with inherited blessings and quirks of his own,
But had his family not loved and supported me as one of their own,
It would have been enough for me. Dienu.

Had he given me a family-in-law that loves and supports me as one of their own,
But not given me a second chance at life and love,
It would have been enough for me. Dienu.

But God has given me a loving, supportive family,
And He has given me my family’s advantages,
And He has given me my family’s quirks,
And He has given me the ability to use my genes to advantage,
And He has given me an appreciation of our interactions,
And He has given me loving, supportive siblings with whom to share life,
And He has given me a loving, understanding, appreciative husband,
And He has given me a wonderfully loving family-in-law,
And He has given my husband inherited blessings and quirks of his own,
And He has given me a family-in-law that loves and supports me as one of their own,
And He has given me a second chance at life and love,
And for all of that, I am truly grateful and strive to be a better me.
