Until the judgement call!
"I'm not promising"
I'm not promising you my existence.
But I'm here now, and I love you.
You're aware that my life belongs to the Lord.
Whoever created me will decide my fate.
I might be in your life today and tomorrow
but I'm not sure if I'll stay in it forever.
Allow that to sink, keep it in your kind thoughts.
What came from the ground will surely return.
The ground is the source of my existence.
I will surely return to it someday.
Now that we've decided to love each other,
We should be happy and enjoy ourselves every day.
As if it could be the end of our lives,
where tomorrow won't arrive.
Let our love remain magnificent
until the judgment call!

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.

Wow it is well judged!!!
I love this so much Gloria! Means a lot. Thank you. 🙏❤️
Hi Gloria, The imagery you conjured throughout the poem was striking, painting scenes that were both vivid and poignant. From the delicate brushstrokes of nature to the tumultuous landscapes of the human heart, each stanza unfolded like a masterpiece, drawing me deeper into the narrative. What struck me most about your poem was its exploration of the complexities of human emotion and experience. Through your verses, you navigated themes of love, loss, and redemption with a grace and honesty that felt deeply authentic. Your ability to capture the essence of these universal emotions in such a visceral way is a testament to your skill as a poet. I was also moved by the sense of hope and resilience that permeated your words. Despite the darkness and uncertainty that often accompany life's trials, your poem reminded me that there is always the possibility of redemption, of finding light in the midst of darkness. Overall, "Until the Judgement Call" was a beautifully crafted poem that touched me on a profound level. Thank you for sharing your talent and insight with the world. Your words have left an indelible mark on my heart, and I look forward to exploring more of your work in the future. With warm regards, Dr. Jay
