Acceptance - Poetry for a More Diversified America

I’m not a friend you’d imagine,

or ever come to expect;

but one who’d always be there,

when others may neglect.

I’m called odd, a little different,

some may say I’m queer.

It shouldn’t even matter much,

when one's motives are sincere.

A friend’s a friend regardless if

his girlfriend’s name is Ted.

There’s so much more to others

than who one takes to bed.

I’m a warm, sociable person,

not some social disease;

a slight aberration of Nature,

(ever so slight, if you please.)

I’ve a big heart and joyful spirit,

as you have come to see;

a true blue friend forever yours,

if you’d be the same to me.
