I Love You, Wrong or Right

Our argument returned to me

And I simply knew that I was right!

Then I heard my father's voice

Say there is a choice to make

And son, you can make it now tonight.

He said, you see your mom and I

Had our share of fusses too

But we never let you see us fight.

What I learned may help you now

Ease the bruising of your pride

What you do right now decides your plight.

I loved your mom and you kids too

And through the loving found

All in all, it's best to be polite.

If you really want to win through life

With that 'caught in the act' boy smile,

And say to her, my dear I know your right.

The costs of proving you are not wrong

May be more than you think they are

And love may not survive such a plight.

Just try it and you will see my son

A sheepish grin can ease the strain

And may even bring you kisses in the night.

Soon you both will then begin

To remember when your love

Was young and full of fire, burning bright.

You can, of course, continue on

Proving your point of who is wrong

But you may find you're alone each night.

When she decides enoughs enough

Takes your stuff and the kids too

Leaving you all alone, she just might.

Son, I've said enough for now

You have a choice to make you know

Remember, she did not marry you to fight.

But in the good times or the bad

It is sad to forget how it began

And let one argument destroy the night.

Also, don't forget my son the times

She may have done the same for you

When other arguments began to alight.

Admitting you are wrong does not mean

You cannot continue believing in that

Which you honestly believe come daylight.

But your choice for now is simple

Be right, sleep poorly, wake up angry

Or let your self gain some from my insight.

Does not matter when morning comes

Who has lost and who has won

All that matters is you love, wrong or right.
