Sins Of The Fathers

In those eyes, tears do brim

All a-quiver are your lips

I've done wrong again

The latest of many slips

 

I rack my brains for reasons

Did I omit my morning kiss?

Or fail to hail your daily bloom?

What critical need did I miss?

 

As the baby's due next month

I'm watching my p's and q's

Skating on thin eggshells

Pandering to your mute clues

 

Then it dawn...
