My Genes Fit Right

I confessed that I feared 

I had missed the maternal instinct gene.

I enjoy my children, 

And I’m sure I will miss them,

But I don’t feel this quite so passionately

As it seems most women do.


My friend said,

“Or maybe you’re just balanced,

And that you are you,

And you have interests besides your children.

Maybe it’s a sign of health,

Or at least of individuality.”


Whether she’s right or not,

I like that way of thinking!
