WHAT IS APPARENT...

       
   
        To be a parent
            is the greatest charge.
        You must provide and guide,
        protect and cheer,
            Yet slowly backing off
                as they grow large
            Empowering away
                what you hold dear.
        I'll never be a parent,
            but I write.
            The words I pick with care,
            the lines I hone.
            With pride, I seek to share,
            to teach, delight,
            Empowering away
                what I would own.
        No test, no standard,
            no prerequisite now separates
                a from a daddy from a dunce.
            Some worry
                if a birth's legitimate,
            While any fool might breed
                who f***s just once.
            And any fool
                can fill another tome
                with words on paper,
                calling it a poem.
