PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I love to watch a parent smile…love to vicariously feel their joy

when they point to the tiny newborn they created

and proudly say…That’s my baby boy. 

Likewise…I love to watch a parent smile…

as if they’ve just uncovered a priceless pearl

and love to hear them proudly say…That’s my baby girl.

And no matter how old their child grows…

I love to be there to absorb their joy…

when they look at their grown child and say

He’ll always be my baby girl

She’ll always be my baby boy.

Even if they’re from different countries

speaking different languages…using different names….

when any parent talks about their baby…

the joy we feel is the same.

For no matter when or where or how

their lives together may unfurl…

they will always be their baby boy…

always be their baby girl.

I love when a parent smiles and says

when their child realizes they are L G B T or Q

I love you…whoever you know you are

and you’re still my baby too.

There is so much that is wrong with the world today…

so many things that needs to be saved…

so many behaviors and beliefs that need to be reversed…

I wonder if the best place to begin to turn this all around…

Is to remember the love all parents have for their children…

and make a pledge…

to save our babies first.
