what have you accomplished so far in your life

what have you accomplished so far in your life:
how have you delt with hurt and pain, and turmoil and strife:
  right here right now, where you now stand:
  what is the greatest accomplishment you have on hand:
the accomplishments of a person, become his family, friends, and financial status and plan:
in life, the measure of a man, becomes hos financial wealth, fame and fortune, small or grand:
  for me my greatest accomplishment is to be a father, of eight children:
  and being proud of all of them:
now with this divorce over and done:
my foundation is leveled, and the accomplishments of my life, seem little to none:
  i do not have no material wealth, i threw it all away:
  whatever money i had, this divorce took it all and little with me will stay:
i am still standing, and trying my best to regain my lost and shattered pride:
the accomplishments of my life have been shattered and denied:
  i know i have the blessings of my health:
  my health, in my life will be my platform of my wealth:
my children,grandchildren are the accomplishments of my life, i will treasure nourish and for all time lovingly proudly keep:
for my life, these are my accomplishments, that forever i hold loving and deep:
