Despite what I say…

I love children 

Especially the inquisitive ones

Their little questions about 

Mundane things

Like “Why is the sky blue?” &

“Why is the grass green?”

I could shrug it off because 

I don’t know the answer, but

Where’s the fun in that?

We could spend a whole day

Learning the answers together 

People tell me I’d be a good mother 

But it will probably never happen

I won’t be continuing my bloodline

It should stop after me

Why would you bring a child 

Into this mess?

Blood is thicker than water, but…

Water is healthier than blood
