A Father’s Love

It really was a folly of youth,
I should have been more careful.
After this I always was.
At 15 I heard the 2 words every teen dreads,
The 17 year olds says "I'm pregnant."

It wasn't mine,
It couldn't be.
I was too young to be a father.
I had my whole life to live.

It was not mine,
Impossible, crazy, terrible, unreal.

Or was it?
Time line was correct.
I was the only one, right?
No.

She swore she was true,
She lied.
She aborted.

At nearly 40, no kids.
Makes one wonder.
Will I give a father's love?
