I Want to Tell You Something You Should Know

I want to tell you something you should know, Something that you might not want to hear. It is, however, true of me, and so If you would know me, I must make it clear. I am a woman who loves other women. I could not, nor would want to be aught else. I am your daughter and a lesbian. Please make a place for that within yourself. Please love me as I am, as I love you No differently from when I was a child. I am the daughter that you always knew Save for one sweet way that fate has smiled. Whatever you decide, I'll love you still, For love heeds not the weather, but the will. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
