Once upon a time in a land far away,
No one was bullied because they are gay.
One day a teen boy wandered into that land,
He looked around and said, “Oh this is grand!”
The natives of the land looked oddly at the teen,
They asked, “Why are you shocked? What do you mean?”
“In my home, they don’t think that gay is right,
They’d rather we kept our love out of sight.”
“That thinking is so sad, all are welcome here,
Whether you are gay, straight, or queer.”
The boy smiled sadly then said with a grin,
“If they don’t change their ways, will you let me in?”
The cutest boy from that faraway place
Smiled so broadly he nearly cracked his face.
“If those fools don’t let you live your life true,
Don’t let them make your pretty face blue.
Come right back here and quickly you’ll see
That I want you and me to become we.”
The boy blushed and then hugged his new friend.
“I’ll be back for you, this is not the end.”
They had to part, but they both knew they’d miss
The taste on their lips of their sweet goodbye kiss.
