A CHOSEN LOVE

No connection
No blood relation
No relative at all
A Chosen Love
It is above all

A love given freely
No bounds
No obligation
Just freedom to trust

Real love
Deep love
A choice made
In freedom we find
So much trust

Our sense of connection
Comes from our openness
From our respect
For who the other is

Formed out of honesty
No manipulation
No ulterior motive
Only to love the whole

Never asking one to be
Anything other than themselves
Only to be true to who you are
Who I am
In Honesty

A chosen family
A chosen friendship
A chosen sister, brother
A chosen mother, father
A chosen lover

Chosen in freedom
Expressing freely
Real respect
Cherished & Loved
For who we really are....

Not what others wanted us to be
