BORN ANYWAY

I heard yesterday
That a little girl was born
Her mother is astonishingly blue
The father is a fine beige hue
Parents and family have no clue

Do you suppose there is chance?
For a new creation
Bringing forth a new nation?
A beautiful, united theme
That -- only God has seen

The girl’s mother was fearful
His mother and father were fearsome
The young people crossed the line
Anyway, and so in the islands of time
Their plan for love proved fear of none

The lines that were boldly drawn
Before these two were born
Were at once ripped and torn
Bias they would not be shown
So a little girl was born

(What color is she?)

I wondered what would happen if two people met who were the proverbial blue and beige. What about even green?
