A Beautiful Future

I may never have this but I will do my best
I want a big family, a wife to hold to my chest
I want to be considered a father though I am no man
It complicated to explain and you won’t understand
Zoe Jane because of a song by Staind
Patrick James because 'no this is Patrick’ and my papa’s middle name
Gerard McDonnell for a man never saved
I respect him because of the sacrifice he made
He could’ve survived K2
But he wanted to stay
He went back up the slope
Just to see if everyone was okay
He knew they were dead
Long since gone
But he had to do something
He has earned respect so strong
He will live on
I’ll make sure of that
Everyone will know that my son’s name is in favor of hope
I’ll make sure this becomes a fact
Zoe Jane, Patrick James, Gerard McDonnell
What a lovely set of names for people that aren’t... Well...
Even in consideration yet
But I won’t forget
These are my future generations’ names
They deserve as much respect as those people have just the same

(2014)

I really want a family someday.
And these names have specific (if not personal) meanings to each set of them.
