Your mother was right
Of course,
‘Too old' she said,
‘It will end in tears.'
And has it,
Now two sons later,
But then a girl
Born to your ‘out of wedlock'
Guy next door.
But I love her so,
Now fourteen,
Bright and kind and
Tantrums
That will pass.
So the tears are gone,
And in their place
We stuck together,
Raised a beauty
Who keeps me now
In different tears -
Of love.

I would like to translate this poem
Again I think this one must be autobiographical, this writer really does seem to lay his soul on the line, or should that be lines.
