for my kids
before i met
your beautiful mother
i didn't know this kind
of love existed
not
a romantic love
not a genetic love
but still somehow
a fatherly love
neither of you are
biologically my children
but you are
my children
i see her soul radiate in each of you
her glory shines in your eyes
her laughter beckons
whenever you smile
i love you both so much
so fully
so completely
more than the universe loves itself
more than god loves the world
Alexander and Victoria
i am not your father
but you are
my kids
i don't have
much to offer you
i live the simple life
of a starving artist
and for that
i am sorry
my poverty breaks my heart
because i want to give you the world
but i only have this poem
and the love of a dad
who is so proud
of you both
and
the glorious future
which unfurls before you
the world is yours
