If He Were She (11/08)

If he were she
and I was me
we would be 'they'
now wouldn't we?

no bells there would be
no rice, no gowns
no proof on paper
that our love abounds

If he were she
and we were 'they'
our love as real as yours
but our rights taken away

unrecognizable we'd be
to a government so sure
we are the disease
and they are the cure

if he were she
we'd still be we
but somehow lesser
then he and me

  1. Sweetie, what a big heart you have. To be able, so clearly to feel another's pain must be a burden as well as a blessing. You are truly a person of great depth. I love you.
