Be my son today
My first born
Flesh of my flesh
My heart's true love
I have no son
Or one that wants to be mine
So I am asking you
Be my son
Stand with me
Beside me
Embrace me
Love me
As you would a mother
As you would a father
And I will love you
Son

Poet's Note: Written December 12, 2020. I feel like I'm writing poetry these days that can't be analyzed through a poet's note. I have nothing for this one either. Sometimes the poem must speak for itself.
