Welcome to this world my son,
were man's horrid excesses still
fail to extinguish Love's light
that burns fervent and unsubdued
in eyes such as yours;
eyes still unblinded by evil
eyes still brimming with goodwill
I would my bosom were fortified enough
to offer you refuge from the world's sniggers
from those who would judge not
the love that led to your conception
but instead would rather crow loud and long
about how your mother wears not my ring
and how another still displays one from me..
Please tell me what you think

Hey
A well written poem with a message. First I would like to congratulate you and your girlfriend and I wish you two and your child, Brendon all the luck in the world.
It is a shame with this nonsense about having children out of wedlock, come on. What century are we living anyway? Maybe that “rule” was useful way back when, when people had no sex education etc… but times change and attitudes need to change with them. If two people are in love and are financially and psychologically ready for children than that is what counts, not some stupid document.
But there are a lot of closed minded people out there. Can’t blame them, most people don’t bother challenging their beliefs, usually out of fear.
I live in Sweden and most people here live together for a long time and usually have a couple of kids before getting married. That tends to be the norm here and not the exception. So pack your bags and move here!
Very nice poem
Bill
