“The dream of marriage shouldn’t just be limited to heterosexual people, it’s should be about two people who love each other. Period. Don’t H8, it’s unbecoming.”

~GRACIE’S POEM~
*
In the evening’s glow outside tonight
Under stars, the sky, a moon so bright
I walk with wind tossing my hair
“Hey God” I ask, “Are you still there?”
*
Stars twinkle back like eyes so clear
I hear a voice whisper “Child, I’m always here.”
So who are these people I’ve come to adore
God says with a smile, “Please tell me more”.
*
Night after night I stare at the screen
Laughing and typing on this dusty machine
Conveying emotions through smilies and letters
A chat with these peeps makes the day all that better
What’s this connection for how we relate?
*
Based on love and acceptance, so different from hate
A home of our own we’ve created this space
With secret identities-I hide behind Grace
Alone in my study with no one around
*
I chat with these strangers so blessed to have found
“So what are your questions” God asks with a grin
I’m a little confused but I’ll try to begin
I want to believe that all this is real
*
And truly acknowledge what my heart really feels
I laugh and I smile, I blush its all true
I thought you could do that with only people you knew
“Well” God whispers through stars and the moon“
*
There is more to learn than what you assume…
My love is endless for all to endure
So connecting with others goes beyond door-to-door
Take not what you know but what I provide
*
The joy that is felt is simply no lie
I send yellow to all in no one size
Some of which is not seen by the eye.
You see my child there is no easy way
*
To describe the interactions I create every day
If you embrace all my love with a warm open heart
You will find love in others, my definition of art.”
“So true” I ponder as I look to the sky
*
Our bonds are like artwork that money can’t buy
Rich colors on canvas-computer-like screens
Beauty is seen through these (hu)man-made machines
Well thank you God, it was no little mistake
*
That I came to this site where connections aren’t fake
I’ve been given so much and here’s one more blessing
A way to relieve all the work that is stressing
“Anytime my dear, and know I am here
*
If you ever need to talk or just know I am near
Share the yellow that is real with no doubt
That after all is what life is about
And now kiddo I say “Peace out!”
