I know I'm my biggest critic
Harshest and honest critic
Looking back on my life's work
Of course I see the faults
I look at how I've treated people
How I could have been better
From Parenting to Marital attempts
What will my grandchildren remember the most?
I've made 2 attempts at marriage
Each one failed for their own reasons
I was a terrible husband on both accounts
I didn't see it all back then
Being a father at a relatively young age
I wasn't prepared for the task at hand
I've learned that yesterday's apathy
Are the reasons for today's therapy sessions
I thought I knew how to love
Instead I tried to teach
Lessons of right from wrong
When all that was needed was a big hug
I don't have many friends
The best ones are sparse at best
I don't go out of my way to keep in touch
But we know where each other are
It seems I'm good at breaking hearts and promises
The Golden Rule should be applied right here
I have forgotten my place in this world
But have done thing I'll never forget
I have looked at my life with honest eyes
So much failure and compromise
Spent so much of my life objectifying
It cost me everything I've loved
I never got to say goodbye to my kids
I never said goodbye to my wife
I only said hello to a new life
That I still don't understand
So I was a terrible Husband and Father
Not much of a friend
MY grandkids may see it differently
How could I be so bad at so many things
