the intervention

diana and joey were the intervention team:
diana was at the helm nice caring compassionate fair and she kept it clean:
diana and joey were very professional sharp and poised in every way:
they enabled us both to say what we had to say:
pretty much every problem was discussed and confronted direct:
i really wasnt sure what to expect:
so the decision was made that i will not leave the house and i will stay:
and will try to work it out some way:
for me i will do the absolute best that i can:
even though i feel im standing in a foundation of sand:
im not really so sure if to be with me is where she wants to be:
i turn it over to god and say if its meant to be than only through time shall we see:
i am who i am and you have to love a person for who they are:
i know admit and acknowledge that in many ways i have been under par:
to be at my best i know i must travel far;
i know the champion that i am and i know where i am going to be:
so in the next thirty days if im good enough we shall wait and see:
i do admit my flaws my faults and will do my best to change:
my whole life will be arranged:
in my own defense i say--look at the wild race that i have run:
raising seven children through there difficult teen years has not been a picnic and fun:
the blunt disrespect and criticism and put dowms i took it from them all i was the one:
i remember every single argument and betrayal from all these kids through all these years;
all the hurt pain shame and teare:
i feel that i have done my best for my family my wife and children every single day:
i have reallyb tried to be the best i could be in every way:
i realize how dissappointed people were in me as a husband and a dad:
and really to myself i thought i was doing pretty good never thought i was that bad:
its so easy for anyone to put another down:
but the truth of the matter is through hell or high water i was always in the game and around:
so the intervention is over and now in place:
im doing my best trying to prove myself by running a new race:
i am who i am--just a simple man:
i say let go let god and lord i know you have a plan:
