Pronouns
by Robert Becker
I am the husband of my wife,
he is the husband of his husband
and she is the wife of her wife
and though pronouns really matter
they simply point out
who we are and how we fit in
furthermore to those that are bothered
by pronouns as they’re listed
I’d simply ask for your kindness and mercy
we’re all on life’s journey together
“for better or worse”
as marriage vows point out
and though we are told
it won’t always be easy
hopefully we’ll all do our best
to make sure that all
yes everyone’s life
will be fulfilled and truly matter.
