My Golden Rule
The Benefits of Doubt
If we haven’t met and I’m unsure what’s true
I’ll do what my parents have taught me to do
Before all the rumors start skewing my view
I’m not lending credence to what’s said of you

A Bridge Among the Flowers
To my dear and beautiful granddaughter, I've needed to write this letter to you for a long time now. I just didn't have the words. I'm not sure if I even do now. But this is my feeble attempt. Forgive me if I don't use the proper pronoun or gender when I am referring to the "you" that I know and love. I'm new at this and still very confused in my "Boomer-ness." I think you already know that I am having a difficult time wrapping my head around these concepts. But it doesn't minimize my love and adoration for you.
