because we are your children,
sometimes you are like
a single parent working
two or three jobs to ensure
we are fed, clothed, sheltered, loved.
sometimes you are
a same-sex couple who
adopts special needs kids
because they know that
love can defeat the cruelty
of the world.
sometimes you are
a foster parent who takes in
a teenager feeling they have
run out of chances, while you
have more than they will ever need.
sometimes you are
grandparents who set aside
all their retirement plans
to begin a journey they never
expected to take again.
