247 Without the trauma children

When my wifes daughter birthed her first,
I was witness, but felt no blood stir
in my heart, as others felt.
Yet all it took was that first night
the bundle stayed with us
for me to look upon the baby
as my own.
Of course this little boy
is more than stranger,
so I will hold him ’till I die,
It’s in the bone.
