Many good, many unkind

    For twentyyears i served as a marine, and i did my best

    I tried to give my family, security and happiness

Then in my nursing career

I was happy that i was home everyday, and with my family near

    I didnt have to deploy, for a year at a time! Any more

    I was a retired marine from the corp

As the kids got older

 They became more confident and bolder

     My wife needed me no more

   As she walked out the door

So i have done my best, and still i am

And im regrouping now, trying to be a better man

    Just listening to music, just made me shed a few tear

    As im getting ready to travel again to san diego to hold my children near

This family is broken

With some of my kids not many words of late have been spoken

     So i can only do my best

     I will not let anyone, put me down or make me feel any less

I have my momentum

 And i know that with god in my heart, this fight and battle can be won

    I am going to achieve, 

For now from the encouragement from another in myself finally i do believe

    Many times i do still have my doubts, and think that i am nothing at all

   But all that i know is with god in my heart, i can stan tall

So i will go now to my family in san diego

And do my best to be patient, loving and understanding, loving them all greatly so

      For my family has been broken

     And me as the father i will do my best to bring this family back on the mend
