Don’t You Think That’s Odd?

You’ve never met my kids

Don’t you think that’s odd?

I flew interstate to see your new baby only weeks after she was born

But I didn’t give birth did I?

My kids who are not of my womb

But very much of my heart, my thoughts, my all

These children who I’ve dedicated my life to 

Given up my career for

Relinquished opportunities of travel and adventures

Are they not worthy because I did not carry them?

Do you not think it odd?

I think it’s odd
