Why I Write, Part x+175: Proud Father

As a poet, my life's like those of proud fathers to newborns,
Except I'm self-aware enough to claim my rightful scorn.
In a moment of conception, my new words of choice appear,
After lovely English carried them for several hundred years.
Some have been impressed by how I write.  Some said so several times,
But I've trouble being proud of what is not yet really mine.
