A strange step for me into the unkent realms o' grand-father hood.
Will she or he understand the vagaries o' my scuttled life ?

But...whoever they may be...as I am
the Patriarch o' the family..they now own my heart..

A small happiness has crept
into my life
in the shape o’ a faraway foetus.

A scanned image has caused me
disorientated thoughts an’
my logic now is scrambled.

Who is this who wanders
into the valley o’ my love ?

Why am I so full o’ tears for
such an idea
that an unborn child
could bless my lonely life ?
