The father and mother




 

My father objected to my marrying

A girl I had been in love with.

Yes, she has been born to him,

My father secretly confided.

Shocked, I approached my mother,

Who granted my wish.

Yes, I was not born to him,

She revealed the secret

I abandoned the idea,

Not to embarrass either.
