Family Acceptance Poem by Ima Ryma

Family Acceptance



I was Mom and Dad's only child.
They raised me the best that they could.
I left for college. Things went wild.
My folks - they called it quits for good.
They divorced. Each got a new life.
Dad found a husband. They were wed.
And Mom got partnered with a wife.
It all so overwhelmed my head.
My traditional family
Had changed to one quite different.
But I was able within me
To make the best of what life sent.

Visiting with them, I would say
Mom and Dad seem happier, gay.
