Yours and Mine

I am a son You are a daughter We’re not related But, it doesn’t matter I am a father You are a mother We each have a child Just, not with each other I love and cherish mine As I’m sure you do yours And yet somehow This hatred of others occurs Love does not discriminate We know that it endures If, I can love a child of mine I can also, love a child of yours BOEMS BY JA 581

I would love to do a poem analysis on this. There's depth in this.

Ja Ja. This is a wonderful poem about love. Indeed, real loves will not and cannot discriminate. What a powerful truth that too few of us realize and understand. Keep writing my friend.

I've always had a similar thought: A person's free to choose their spouse. The person will unconditionally love their child of the marriage, even if the child is a replica of the spouse. The person continues loving the child even if they change their mind and hate the spouse and divorce. Which scenario proves that anyone can potentially love anyone.
