THE EXPECTANT DAD

`This is your dear wishful dad from the deepest part of his heart with all the love and affection I start of this letter (its as if am trying to woo a retarded girl)
I am a young boy, with so many dreams and aspirations (I would put Martin Luther King to shame), with as much as the clothes I am in. The journey of my  life is not even ready to take off-my plane is still in the assembly line. To make it worse my destination is still unknown. Am still looking for that one thing that would spark me off make me fire up, push me forward and that will probably be you.

Somewhat many would wonder why a young guy like me, presumably in quick sand, would want such a package. A package that would require a continued look out every minute for the rest of my lifetime, a package that requires a change of diapers every so often, a package that would eat up all my meager allowance which is specifically designed for my pleasure seeking mortal self. You are a package that many crave for, adore and love to have but at the same time fear and `approach with caution`, a paradox of some sought.

Your coming into existence changes the whole dynamics of life. What many would wish is to give you is  the best that there is, their notion of utopia, but what if they can not even give an average to themselves, what then? What I fear most is that your beginning would be my end. You would change how others perceive me. I would no longer be their cool friend but rather a friend who has a lot on his hands. The night outs would be a rumor and as time goes it becomes a murmur which then fades away into space. The days I would drink to my last penny leaving only dust particles in my pocket, not knowing what I would eat the next morning, would be an artifact. 

If you are a girl the so many girls I chase after would be long gone and you would be the only girl that would make me huff and puff.

I consider you a load heavier than the ten commandments but worthy since you would make me right keep my compass facing north. I wait for you as a woman with labour pains but the result would be a bundle of joy lighter than any of us but with greatest potential.`

See you soon.                                                                                                                      
                                                                          Your expectant dad.
