love

on my flight I sat next to
a lesbian couple. I noticed how
they both had the same
facial expressions in my
reaction to meeting a student
of mine sitting behind us.
One of them sneezed and the
other, unconsciously, full
of compassion, handed her
a tissue.
When one reached for
a magazine-
the other, knowingly,
handed her
her glasses
as to read
Which
reminded me that this
seemed
much more
aesthetically
pleasing
than witnessing
my father
reading the Sunday paper
in my Mother's glasses. His glasses
in hiding with the remote
control. And I thought how
could this be wrong? My
loving heart reared by a
loving God created this. Those
who think otherwise
Are.
Simply.
Wrong.
