Becoming Who You Are. A Transgender Journey
You are born in this world.
Born to a mother and father.
Born to be a son or a daughter.
The mould is set.
Your gender announced to the world.
Like permanent ink on a banner.
Its a boy! ,Its a girl!
Its a baby!
You learn to toddle.
Pretty pink delicate things,
Are given as gifts.
But you’d rather play...

For Granddad
My Granddad passed away just before Christmas, this is for him.
Time whispers
Fleeting, it escapes us
You were a part of our world
A smile cemented
in childhood memories
You were a card playing companion
Intrigued by technology
And the new world it opened
I remember your CD player
You were proud as punch
As it was mounted on the wall
And opened with a wave
I remember Christmas ...
