Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

A Sigh of Relief

A whoop and a holler
Of – not disbelief – 
But of unbridled joy
With a sigh of relief

Is the way that so many
Can finally feel
For the end of this era
Will help us to heal.

We’re yearning for decency,
Craving some peace,
While hoping that hatred
Will lessen or cease.

A miracle’s needed
For us to unite
But today’s the beginning
To making things right.

Gershon Wolf November 7, 2020 at 7:03 PM Yes: Go, Joe!... I feel the same sense of relief myself... Perhaps the change of the guard will bring a diminution of the violence and insanity we've been experiencing. Sure hope so. Faith and Hope, Gershon

Hannah Borke November 7, 2020 at 6:48 PM Trump has been a national treasure; I hope we don’t come to rue casting him away. Rico Leffanta November 8, 2020 at 11:07 AM Not likely! Wait until you read how much the Trumps looted the Treasury! Aloha! Rico
