Leona Slagle Poet Prose Poetry

Just Because

Just because you were not born of my flesh
                    You are still my child

Just because I am fair skinned with green eyes
And you are dark skinned with black eyes
                      You are still my child

Just because I held you for the first time when you
were three days old, and another woman held you when
you were
 three minutes old
                       You are still my child

Just because my body had no milk to  offer you, and you 
had to drink from a bottle
                      You are still my child

You were offered to me without misgivings
With beautiful intentions
With an abundance of love
With the knowledge that you would be loved and cared for
And given all that you deserved

You are my son in every aspect that love and the law could provide.

You are my son until the end of time.
In my heart and in my soul
I will always be your mother.
