One Seed

Why at our age are we still protesting? Why do we feel the need? Because the fire of hope for a better world still burns inside us… and because it's never too late to plant a seed. If we can plant one seed of understanding help just one person open their eyes and see perhaps one day we'll stop ignoring and whitewashing our history. If we can plant one seed of knowledge and wisdom help just one person understand then minds will be free to be opened and books will never be banned. If we can plant one seed of love and acceptance help just one person to open their eyes and see then the world begins to be a better place for the LGBTQ+ and me We protest to plant one seed in one heart because in our hearts we know unless we plant that seed it has no chance to grow. That's why at our age we're still protesting and we will keep protesting as long as it takes… although we are protesting less for us now and more for our children's and grandchildren's sake.
