Strong,courageous,beautiful
You'll always know
Walking around in the dark
It's just like us not to know where we are
You said you didn't know,
so I better fix up
Sharpish
Stopping and starting
What do I have to do
To show you
Exactly where my heart is?
I could keep up if I just listened
You show me often
What I know I'm missing
I've made it my life's mission,
so you'll always know
That you're strong courageous, and beautiful
You're strong, courageous, and beautiful
Walking around in the dark
Is there a way back,
or have things gone too far?
You said you didn't know
I better fix up
Soonish
Stopping and starting
What do I have to do
To show you
You are still where my heart is?
I could keep up if I just listened
You show me often
What I know I'm missing
I've made it my life's mission,
so you'll always know
That you're strong, courageous, and beautiful
You're strong, courageous, and beautiful

Fireworks and Flypasts - Are They Ever Truly Needed?
Hi there! The poem below is for you if you like to question how come things are done. Its purpose - in my view - is to highlight negative aspects of ‘celebratory’ fireworks and flypasts, encouraging us to choose what we truly need this July (and beyond).

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
