Two mothers


Once upon a time,

in a land unlike any other,

there was a woman

who desperately wished to be a mother. 

 

She hoped to find 

a prince someday

to give her a child

she could love and raise. 

 

One sunny afternoon,

she wandered lost

and ended up 

in a rickety old shop.

 

Behind the counter,

she met a woman

with eyes of hazel

and a smile, just a bit crooked.

 

After laying sight

upon this beautiful lady,

she immediately knew

that men no longer drove her crazy.

 

The two soon fell 

deeply in lust.

The lust turned to love,

which in turn came with trust.

 

Within their happiness,

love, and joy,

the women wished for a baby, 

perhaps a little boy. 

 

Months of hoping,

months of searching,

and months of uncertainty, 

the women felt as if it had been an eternity.

 

But, finally,

the day had come!

Adoption prevailed and

a baby was brought home.

 

The parents vowed 

their love to each other

and to the baby,

lucky enough to have TWO mothers!
