family man

i was born in a small town and raised on a country mile: i learned as a small boy how to stand tall and walk with a smile:    mom and dad they gave us all the love they had : they picked us up when we were down or feeling sad: i remember dad on christmas eve in santa claus we all believed:    we couldnt wait for him to come ,dad he always made it so much fun:     IM A FAMILY MAN DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN:STANDING TALL TYRING TO BE MY OWN MAN: WORKING EACH DAY TRYING TO MAKE IT SOME WAY: WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE IVE ALWAYS PRAYED:    i joined the marines and i had to go:  i know mom and dad that they felt so low: and when we said our last goodbye: i saw mom and dad fighting not to cry:..........IM A FAMILY MAN DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN STANDING TALL TRYING TO BE MY OWN MAN:  WORKING EACH DAY TRYING TO MAKE IT SOME WAY: WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE IVE ALWAYS PRAYED:.........I have been a marine now for twenty long years: and god knows i've faced almost all my fears: i raised my family the best that i could: with my head high i've always stood:  there's gotta be a dream up in your mind, and you hope one day that you'll find:  seven children i have today: and i thank the lord that i'm blessed that way:    IM A FAMILY MAN DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN: STANDING TALL TRYING TO BE MY OWN MAN: WORKING EACH DAY TRYING TO MAKE IT SOME WAY: WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE I'VE ALWAYS PRAYED.................WHATEVER YOU ACHIEVE IN YOUR LIFE: THERES NOTHING MORE SPECIAL THAN A LOVING WIFE:
