A Father Inside

Some people avoid the crowds, I myself like them around.
Some people cannot see eye to eye, and I myself have cried sometimes.
When I look around all that I see, is the man by my side and the child of our dreams.
People still stare and talk and gawk, but I hardly notice them as we walk.
There is a sense of pride I cannot hide...for deep inside
I am complete. There is a father, and it is me.
My partner may not be biologically tied,
but the power of his direction is needed for our family to survive.
Blood is not the factor that proves one's love.
I cannot tell you how many families are living corrupt.
     The feelings inside are what prove love true...
regardless of what people may think of you.
Stand tall and proud for the love that you feel,
and don't become of victim of what society says is "real".
Feel the love and fight for what you believe.
Never surrender to the sadness of society that you see.
Hear these words and listen to what I say...
you are a father in every way,
and no one can ever take that away
just because you are gay.
