Hi Danny,

Hey good to hear from you and hope you're doing well.

I'll explain the verse, but having to explain it probably means it's not working as intended. The situation I was trying to portray was that he had this idyllic dream of how their life would be, but she became pregnant and he had to take a job and give up or postpone his dream, and he wasn't able to accept this at first, maybe didn't want to have the child, but she was able to keep him focused on what was real and important and now he is thankful that she did and loves the child dearly. - it's funny that the verse works for some and some have your question - It's about pipedreams versus facing realities, and yes, if he was truly called, he would have still become a preacher, it's just I knew some who thought that's what they wanted, even studied for it, but never were really cut out for it. He feels like fate intervened to stop him, he may realize later in life he wasn't cut out for it or willing to make the sacrifices to get there. Anyway that's what I was trying to put in those 5 short lines.

Thanks for asking, I appreciate it!
