A 73-year-old's endearing poem about using gender gender-neutral pronouns is warming thousands of cold, dead hearts all over the internet.
The poem, titled "They", was written by the elderly auntie of nonbinary artist Theo Nicole Lorenz- and has already been shared over 20,000 times.
"My 73-year-old aunt wrote a poem about my pronouns in her church writing group and it's the sweetest thing," Lorenz tweeted earlier this week.
The poem reads: “This person I know / Wants to be called they. / It could bring us much closer / To see them that way."
It continues: “It’s a strange thing to think / And harder to say, / But they are so happy / When the effort is made."
“For all the theys and thems / It is this that I pray, / We be kind and accepting / And just let them be they.”
With over 100,000 likes, the poem even caught the attention of Chelsea Clinton, who called it "beautiful and wise".
