Born of Love

What did they do when I wasn’t around?

Did they hold hands, laugh softly or watch their favorite shows?

Did they tell one another they were in love? And if they did, did they mean it?

I guess it’s best that I do not know

There then lives the possibility that in some way, at some time

They cared for each other in a way that is sacred, in a way that two people should when they start a family

It helps me to believe that I am a child born of love
