I was picking out a Mother Day's card and I came across a really good one. It made me giggle since what was written inside seemed to apply to the trans thing as it related to me growing up. (But that's just my interpretation of it)
I used to play dress up
clopping around in your shoes,
dreaming of who I'd be
when I was old enough
to wear lipstick and high heels
Now that I've grown
out of make-believe
and into real life, I see
that the smart woman
I wanted to be
was already a part of me
I've watched her poise,
felt her grace,
and known her love
every day of my life.
Mom, you're
the kind of woman
I aspire to be.
