Poem 1

In the dark where worries hide,

Greg has a secret deep inside.

He's scared and nervous, heart so tight,

Afraid to tell, afraid it might.

 

With his boyfriend by his side,

And a bit of magic as his guide,

Greg finds the strength to share his truth,

To tell his parents, no more sleuth.

 

He stands up tall, brave and true,

Ready to say, ready to do.

His heart beats fast, but he won't flee,

He knows it's time to let them see.

 

His parents' love, a warm embrace,

Makes Greg feel safe, finds his place.

They hug him tight, their love so clear,

Their acceptance washes away his fear.

 

From fear to joy, his heart so light,

In their love, he shines so bright.

Greg's story of love, pure and clear,

Shows how love can conquer fear.

 

A journey from dark into the light,

Greg's bravery makes everything right.

His tale reminds us all to be,

True to ourselves, proud and free.

Poem 2

In a small house on a quiet street,
Lives a boy named Greg, so sweet.
He has a secret, hidden deep inside,
Afraid to let his true feelings confide.

Greg is in love with a boy named Manuel,
But telling his parents, he fears would be hell.
So he keeps it hidden, buried away,
Hoping to find the courage one day.

One day, the unexpected occurred,
Greg and his dog found themselves blurred.
A magic collar swapping their form,
Now Greg is a dog, his body transformed.

His mom walks in, curious and concerned,
An odd canine in her son's place she discerned.
She picks up a picture, Greg and Manuel so dear,
But the dog, Greg, bites her in fear.

Outside on the sofa, she sits and contemplates,
Sharing her worries with the dog, her confidante.
Little does she know, the dog is really her son,
His secrets now revealed, the battle won.

With a magical switch, their bodies trade,
Greg in his human form, no longer afraid.
He opens up to his parents, honest and true,
They embrace him with love, accepting the view.

So let this story be a reminder,
Love knows no boundaries, no matter the gender.
Acceptance and understanding, in the end,
Will always help hearts to mend.

Poem 3

In the depths of his heart, a secret dwelled,
Greg, a gay man, afraid to tell,
His parents, his fears consuming him whole,
But he knew it was time, to bare his soul.

The idea of rejection, of being unloved,
Filled Greg with dread, like a storm above,
But courage rose within him, strong and true,
He knew he had to speak, no matter the hue.

With quivering voice, he finally confessed,
To his loving parents, his heart abreast,
And to his surprise, their reaction was kind,
They embraced him tightly, with love in their eyes.

Tears of joy streamed down Greg's face,
His heart felt light, in a warm embrace,
For his parents' love was unconditional,
Accepting him wholeheartedly, without condition.

Fear turned to happiness, as Greg had feared,
His truth set him free, his loved ones cheered,

For in the end, love conquers all,
And Greg knew, he was finally standing tall.
