SEVEN SHADES OF SORRY

I come from a time when hue was still new.

The world was black and white.

The war had begun on who was wrong and who was right.

I had to choose a side, like all the rest.

I looked to my Father; he always knew best.

The line had been drawn in the sand.

So, I dug in my heels and I took a stand.

I found solace in the shadow of our stained-glass Chapel.

Faithfully aligned with the Colorblind.

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking, as a vet, long in the tooth.

Each flashback of battle has brought me closer to the truth.

I was wrong and I was stubborn. Even for me, change is scary.

I admire your fight for your right to whom to marry.

You should know that I’m sorry and that I love you before I go…

And that I’ve also found my truth at the end of a Rainbow.
