So here it is... the why.  With this picture as evidence, Pammie Pink Sunglasses was born.

Pink Sunglasses
Hiding behind them for confidence
Wearing hand spun clothes
Made from the hands of a well intentioned mother

Pink Sunglasses
Do I look like a movie star?
Is anyone looking
Why can't they see me?

Pink Sunglasses

Ever since we got to New York
It's Pamela this, Pamela that
Why did she have to come anyway.

Pink Sunglasses
I look good
they're just jealous
Can we go shopping?

I woke up and set my intentions for the day.  I was off to an outdoor yoga class and then I thought I was going to be helping paint my daughters living room.  As it turned out, my daughter was bringing the kids to a Black Lives Matter protest downtown.  I thought for a moment and realized that I wanted to go along in case she needed me to help with the kids. As we walked towards the protest, my grandkids carried their signs with pride.  My nine year old grand daughter was old enough to understand and verbalize, that she was doing this to support a cause. She later stated, "All people are equal and Black lives matter."  My four year old grandson was less verbal but none the less was engaged with the energy that surrounded us.   Despite their age difference, these two are quite close.  Sure, they argue like most siblings, but they defend each other fiercely.  They are both products of a biracial marriage,  my grand daughter inheriting her black fathers features and my gr
