WILL HE?

from the ABC set POETRY - A Passage of Motion 2

Will he remember
when
we're old and
gray?

Will he remember
the times we
played

and fished and
camped
along the
way?

Will he remember
our tears
often shed?

This adopted
boy
thought he had
no friends

nor mom or dad
who cared.
We did.

Particularly poignant. Do you think it is more about the step parents or child? Am I right in thinking step parents?
