Poem
My dad's large hand would swallow mine as together we would walk to the voting line See neighbors and friends from everywhere waiting patiently in line with a duty to share Young man are you going to vote today more than one adult ask as we made our way Start him off young Robert show him now democracy needs us all to vote and how My grade school was our polling place and I was glad to be with my dad, pride on my face Step by step forward on the progress was slow but no one was rushing patriotism on show Finally our turn to sign and check in are you democrat independent or republican My dad showed his ID though all knew his name and sign for his ballot just the same He picked me up as we headed to the voting booth closed the curtain now our moment of truth The ballot was long so many names My dad held my hand as we both proclaim This guy is honest, she's done a good job No one would vote for him crooked Rob Hand on hand we together made our mark filling out the ballot I repeated his remarks State questions and justices to renew together we read and voted after our review We finished and he put me down open the curtain the ballot box we found I put it in the slot our duty profound Robert he is growing fast the poll workers said as we past My dad held my little hand into his own slowly we began our walk back home Stoping now and then with a friend to chat Voting day was important to all way back Today when I vote I remember back then how important to my dad was voting for him No matter who you support or even why please remember to vote so our republic survives
