Unknown Child

This poem, was written, for a child I never knew and if the gods are willing someday I may………

 

I’m sorry that I could never see your birth
Being brought to life upon this earth

 

For your destination is much different from mine
And too much conflict was flowing within our time

 

Beautiful was your mother talented so divine
Giving you birth in a period of time

 

Although I’ll never know what sex that you may be
Please live your life to the fullest and let your soul be free

 

A man was I not much at hand
I could never be your father upon this land

 

Although you’ll think that we both did you wrong
In the growing years you’ll see this is where you belong

 

For they can offer you more than we could ever have done
Being my daughter or being my son

 

When they tell you the story that has to be told
Fear not the truth and never turn cold

 

This was the best thing we could have done
Being my daughter or being my son

 

And someday you’ll truly understand
The creation of your father he called himself, Jan

A heartfelt and bittersweet poem. It is sad what one must do to protect and provide for the ones they love most. Thank you.

Beautiful! Being someone who has never experienced this, I have to say it still touched my heart, and actually made me feel heavy with something I'd like to call a long settled sadness...:)
