The Reluctant Father Poem by Fred Omorogbe

Relationship quakes with bitter aches
I gave it all but lost to lust
My heart is shut… emotions dulled
Never again! ! ! … I moan in pain.

Aggrieved, transfixed in lonely bliss
They come, I gate… “Not this time mate”
Whispers, they say… “Could he be gay? ”
With chauvinist rage, in bed we played.

No strings attached, point made… depart! ! !
Nine months brings retro-life remorse
A child, a gift, my life long dream
So sweet, I melt in awesome glee

Love struck, at peace, progressive spree
Now who said, “Damn, I won’t agree”?
Turns out that we were meant to be…
Praise be… I will it all to thee.
