You are the Children

Of my Heart

My Mind

My Conscience

I chose to

Rock you

As a babe

Scrappy

And soften

The stiff

Upper lip

Of your

Brother

But you both

Are not

The children

Of my kin

How can I

Begin again

To raise you

From Boys

To Men

How can I

Begin again?

My heart

Is torn apart

If your mother

God forbid

Should pass…

How can I be

The one to raise

You both?

Be your father when

Your daddy won’t

I love you both

And always will

But how can

I raise you both

Boys to men

And still

Live my own life

Be the man

I think I can

I’m torn in half

My heart loves you

My mind

Doesn’t want

To raise children

Not at my age

Not my own

I will love you

Both…always

What choice

Do I have?!!

How can I commit?!!

I can’t decide…

Damned if I do

And even more

Damned

If I don’t…

I felt that!!

thank u 4 sharing it!!!
