Recently my dad was moved by the thoughtfulness of our family friend in Denmark, who decided to knit some Pussyhats, and wanted to give one to my dad. My dad had surgery on his foot and chose to have a hot-pink cast, to show his support of equal rights for women. He felt a meaningful connection regarding this global movement and our friend knitting the Pussyhat for him, so he put his heartfelt thoughts down and wrote a poem, which I helped edit. This is his first poem, which he is somewhat shy about sharing, but I believe you have to start somewhere. What a better place to start, than in bringing love to a movement that is trying to make the world a better place. Enjoy!

Knitting Unity

One more lovely hat knitted,
Many hearts warmed,
All inspired to be louder and prouder,
March on and embrace the world.

One more lovely hat knitted,
Many hearts warmed,
All inspired to be louder and prouder,

A woman brought you into this world.

One more lovely hat knitted,
Many hearts warmed,
All inspired to be louder and prouder,

Voices rising together, impossible to ignore.

One more lovely hat knitted,
Many hearts warmed,
All inspired to be louder and prouder,
Stand tall and embrace who you are.

Remember where you came from!

This global cause we can agree
It is something that should be

Warming and unifying the people of the world.

Many emotions flowed from the heart,

Stitched into that wonderful Pussyhat.

This is a cause that has us woven together, so

Rock that Pussyhat.
