Mom Thought I Would Be a Girl
Mom thought I would be a girl back in 1971.
She was surprised to learn that I was a son.
She was surprised but she wasn't disappointed in the least.
We were very close until the day when she became deceased.
When I was in Mom's womb, she thought I would be a girl instead of a boy
But she didn't care, just knowing that I was a healthy baby brought her joy.
[Dedicated to Agnes Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013.]
