Don't trust a smile.
It's simply a smile.
There's nothing more.
It could easily deceive you.
Don't believe a smile.
A smile may lead you astray.
It can cause you to make lifelong blunders.
Teeth signify nothing.
Teeth are only teeth.
They mean absolutely nothing.
It's only a smile.
Something you, too, could make.
There are regulations behind it.
It may mean, well,
It could contain a deceitful rule.
A smile could be there.
Just to be able to ask from you.
It might be there to trick you.
Simply respect a grin.
There is a lot behind a smile.
Always be careful!

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.
