*Dear God
Let me always remember
what it is to be
as a woman to is
living in the corners of life
relegated to smaller portions
devalued
discounted
dismissed
*Dear Lord
Let me never forget
what it is to be
as a man is
living in the eye of life
inheritor of unlimited possibilities
bestowed
believed
beheld
*And Dear Lord God
Let me never forget to remember
what it is to be
the man I am
born the woman I was
