No Father Needed

by michaelcahill


No Father Needed



I never knew my father, so
 I just don’t know
a steady hand
I grew unplanned
 
yet nothing's lost inside of me
that I can see
there is no hole
within my soul
 
my mother too, she missed my youth
and here's the truth--
I raised myself
this Irish elf
