A Son At 50

When I wrote these words I remembered how unconfortable I felt with such an old parents, if you read it I'm sure you'll understand or at least you'll know what I felt and I feel till now...

You’re 50
And you want another baby
You’re 50 and she’s 37
You wanted a son
What would you have done with another daughter?
You might think that was not a good while
You had better thought more that once
You had better thought that your economic situation wouldn’t be good later
You had better thought that you wouldn’t have enough time for me
Because I felt that you wanted to have me in a beginning
But some years later I felt that you didn’t want me
I needed more time than what you dedicated me
Why did you want to have me?
If you didn’t have any time for me
I feel that you wanted another child because you didn’t have anybody to treat badly.

You’re 50
And she’s 37
And you want another baby
That baby is I
And I don’t know why
You wanted to bring me to this world
I don’t want to say that I didn’t want to live in this world
In fact I love this world
But I’m looking for an explanation
And I want you to tell me the true
Because I take years wondering the same
And because I am a man, a grown man,
I don’t want you to say me that you had to bring me into this world
Because I know you wanted to do it,
Yeah, you did
And I want to know why,
All because I can’t find the answer
Of why to bring children to this world
Don’t say that the children are the fruit of love
That’s not an answer for me
An answer would be for me
An answer with true reasons,
We brought you to life for this or for that”.
