My son, you grew so quickly

Just yesterday so young, so small

Today you told me something

Not easy a task at all

As we sat in the kitchen

You took hold of my hand

"I have something to tell you," you said

"And I hope you'll understand."

Your silent pause lasted ages

But son, I already knew

I'm so relieved you came out

And now you can be you.

I am inspired by your bravery

By living authentically and rising above

Stand up for equality for all living beings

And always believe, "Love is love."
