Someone You Know Poem by Randy McClave

Someone you know is gay
Maybe someone that you might see every day,
Maybe it's a friend, to the bitter end
And maybe for them you pray.

Someone that you know is bi
Maybe it's that person to who you said hi,
Maybe it's that person there, for whom you'll say a prayer
That person who is a good guy.

Someone you know is transgender
But, their beliefs you try not to remember,
You forget their name, or from where they came
But, they are so very kind and tender.

Someone you know is someone's mate
Someone you know is someone's date,
Maybe it's someone you love, and you think highly of
So, think before you speak with hate.
