From one parent to another,

I won’t lie.

I’m afraid.

When again and again, repeatedly, we have days like today.

When we see loss and pain and tragedy,

And it hits so close to home,

And we seek some solace in our leaders,

But there are none,

We’re on our own.

From one parent to another,

I won’t lie,

My heart, it breaks.

I wonder how long we’ll fight for our rights despite who else’s rights and lives they take.

From one parent to another,

I’m appalled and mad and confused,

1 nation, divided,

Neighbors living worlds apart,

Our once-trusted systems abused.

From one parent to another,

Don’t turn away, it could happen to you.

So when it comes time to march,

To vote,

To take a stand,

To show up,

It matters that you do.

💜
