Mom

I saw her today.
I hugged her.
She hugged me back.
She said, 'Dalaga ka na ah, happy birthday.'
The other woman said, 'Birthday ng anak mo Tita?'
The gay that's leaning on the door asked in shock, 'Anak mo pala to'?"
I was teary eyed, but I held back the tears.
You looked at the gay as you break free from my hug and said, 'Hindi, anak yan ng tatay niya.'

I look down the ground and then heavenwards.
Fighting the tears from not to freaking fall down.
