Take care

Accept the child
born from marriage
of two hearts
it needs your love and concern
take care, be it a daughter or a son
it comes to unite two families
through its relation, into one
into your new roles
you are reborn with its birth
it is the child of this earth.

Accept the child
born from rape or other human disgrace
of two unfortunate hearts
it needs your love and concern
take care, be it a daughter or a son
it comes to write its own story
feel blessed if it chooses you as parents
into your gifted new roles
you are reborn with its birth
it is the child of this earth.
