DEAR ALLIES

How do I explain to my children, the importance of you?

And why that you need to, and how much I rely on you?

How can I tell them that allies have my back?

How do I prepare them, for the compassion, others lack?

They see the world in rainbows, in colours that are true.

They hold no malice, no hate, they believe in a world where we all love you.

When we step into the street, or when we head out to the park.

It is the light you bring that stops our world turning dark.

My children see the world, how the world should really be.

When I told them I am now mum, not dad, they just accepted me.

But the world at large is not ready, to give that big embrace,

So, thank you allies, for the work you do, you bring hope to humanity.
