I know a lot of people go through this ordeal on a regular basis.
Suspense:
Anticipation inside,
the possibility of the results looming
I want to hide
the truth
from you.
I don't want to tell,
I'm so scared.
This one test we've failed.
We were both so careless,
fearless.
And now we're just powerless.
Though I can tell you this:
I don't want your money,
I'm not asking for your love
(I know your girl's right over there)-
but I fear
doing this alone
with no one to share
the joys and the tears
with.
So be quick to step up-
do this right, please?
I won't beg and plead.
Just be the father
I know you can be.
