Who Am I? I'M Jean Valjean - Oops, Wrong Musical

Okay, friend, pull up a chair and I will tell you my story, I will be as honest as I can and not add fictional glory. Fifty-one summers have passed with me alive upon this earth, I still try to approach each new day as if it brings a new birth. I became a father far too young; the marriage did not last, Custody was granted to me of the three children from this past. I married again, I’m a lucky man, to find a woman I adore We couldn’t reproduce so adopted a son to bring our heirs to four. I love to play sports of every sort and stay active even today, I love the outdoors, to hike and explore, taking pictures along the way. I read when I can, but then again, it’s hard to find the time And I love to write little poems, thinking up words that rhyme. My latest achievement, so it seems, you may have stumbled upon it, On a poetry site on the Internet, I entered this contest and won it! (That last line is a bit premature, I know - but, hey, it rhymes! ;-) )
