A Childless Man

A childless man children I've never had And though young boy or girl has never called me dad I'm not alone, I'm not the only one Who has never fathered a daughter or a son. A fertility test I have never undergone But without my genes human life will carry on More births than deaths it's always been that way And the human population on the increase every day. I'm childless man to say so I'm not shy That I have never fathered girl or boy And still the race of humans multiply And I don't have regrets and why should I? I'm childless man but I know I'm not rare As there are childless men and women everywhere No child to hug me call me dad and say 'The teacher said that I was good today'. I'm childless man no children to enjoy And without the gift of Parenthood I'll die And though no child will say I love you dad to me Why should I regret what was not meant to be.
