TransPARENT

Stories repeat

Across generations.

Playing out patterns that are

Seeking resolution.

The strength of our roots,

Allows our tree to keep growing.

Love weaves that strength,

And nourishes connection.

Secrets carry the poison,

Our ancestors couldn’t digest.

For our tree to remain strong,

We must stay in connection.

Be held steady by love,

While we transmute the poison.

Our mother’s mother’s mother’s

Birthed and nourished these roots.

Our father’s father’s father’s

Fostered and protected them.

Our children will inherit

Both strength and poison.

Rise to your opportunity

To do all that you can.

Accept the role you are given,

As a crucial player in the story.

But don’t forget to improvise,

You galactic badass.

Or be convinced,

This role is all you will be.

This is a stage on which,

You learn who you are and what you aren’t.

Family play forges the sword,

So you can weild your full power.

And, don’t forget to put the fun

In dysfunctional.

Your great, great, great grandchildren

Will remember this part you played.
