There will be those who will not like you
They will scorn, frown, and resent
Your very existence
They will pass you by, mock, tease, and never invite you
To their birthday parties
They think that gay parents are less than – with nothing of value to teach
Their eyes are blinded by prejudice, fear, and hatred
Things you never learned from us
We’ve taught you kindness – share it abundantly
We’ve given you love, lots of love
Draw from it to keep you whole
We’ve given you faith, trust, and confidence in self and others
You will need them often
Remember, God brought your two moms together
To create a family and legacy of love
This is the same God who made our persecutors
They have not yet discovered his abundant love and kindness
Be patient and show them that love has no boundaries
