Stepmother

By Irene Blanset

Married again, said I'd never

But, this time it is forever

A child of mine and some of his

completes the circle full of bliss

Sometimes the lines are clearly drawn,

but who is right and who is wrong?

You say no, he says yes,

the blended family what a mess.

You're not my Mom a little voice cries,

it's then you want to break the ties.

Kids grow up and so do you, and time

will pass and leave just two.

The two who blended the families

no worse for the wear, but lots of stories

and memories to share.
