We Are a Family Now, by Nicholas Gordon

We Are a Family Now

We are a family now, a whole,
Of which you are a part,
And you are just as much my child
As any in my heart.   I do not love you differently,
Nor would I give up less
Of all that life has given me
To bring you happiness.   There is no limit to my love,
No boundary you might cross,
No price you might be asked to pay,
No need to fear its loss.   We are now one, the four of us,
Windows of one home.
As long as I have life and breath,
You'll never be alone.
