Where Were You?

I carry the name of a man who is not my actual father

Because my actual father refused to bother

It's not a bother, I stand corrected, it's more of a privilege

With childbirth comes responsibility, most would consider it

Requirement of commitment

When you're born of two willing partners

It is not considered illegitimate

In my eyesight, my foresight is forecasting

An impressive upbringing, my forefather's everlasting

Devotion of love, I thank God for a grandad

Who showed me unconditional love that I never had

From a male perspective, he was the best example
