JWG's Tomorrow Today —I Have Seen Age (a poem)

I Have Seen Age

I am not, nor will be, a Dad.
It is a choice that I have made.
In fact, my sexuality
Supports my easy decision.
I much prefer being a Son.

I became an Uncle
Before I was a Teen.
I felt like a Father.
Responsible caring
Was my Paternal mode.

I have seen age
Creep into my
Uncle routine.
I am a Friend
Who One can Trust.
