Your Baby

Years ago, so long ago:

You know, she might be gay
You’re gay, right? It’s okay

                                          I don’t know

Years ago, not so long ago:

      You know, it’s okay if you’re gay
      you can bring home whomever,
      I’ll always love you

                                                Mom, I know!
                                                Please, let me figure it out first

Not so many years ago:

                                                Mom, can we talk?
                                                I know you won’t mind, but
                                                Gay, bi, I’m sure you don’t care,
                                                but can you understand what I’m about to say next?

I love you

                                                I know
                                                After all, I’m your baby girl
                                                But
                                                I don’t want you to lose her,
                                                but what if you do?

This is more than sexuality?
Isn’t it?

                                          What if I were your baby boy?

      I love you
