Unconditional

Why do we still have to come out & proclaim?
‘Cause parents have pre-telegraphed their disdain.

It is not for us to tell them who they are.
They will tell you when they’re sure their news won’t scar.

You can guess & hope; but keep it to yourselves.
Unless, you want them ever stuck in their shells.

Better, like the bud that unfolds in its bloom.
Their truth will out, if you’d just give time & room.

For, a parent should love whomever they get!
Yes, be patient support…so children don’t split.
