“Mama, I’m gay”

She asked me to talk today

Said she had something she needed to say

She needed to tell me right away

Nearly to tears she said; "Mama, I'm gay"

Only thing is

I already knew this

I've suspected for a while now

So on her forehead I planted a kiss

"It's alright, my dear"

I pulled her into a tight hug

"I accept you as you are,

It's not like you're on a drug"

I'll have to get used to this

Learn to understand

But we'll get through this together

Hand in hand
