After the Election

After the election, there is much to do to bring peace and unity:
Seize the day and play your part by taking hold of the opportunities
Kindness, of course, is an integral part in reaching out to others,
It crosses many a great divide including raging rivers.

If, with others, I can’t agree what should my action be then?
It’s quite simple, been done before, simply count from one to ten!
If all else fails then step back, ponder, then walk away;
You’ll find that in doing this, you’ll have a much brighter day.

Look at others and try to find a common goal you all share;
It’s amazing what transformations occur when people truly care.
First and foremost, your Country needs you to help put things right,
It is something that takes a bit of time and doesn’t happen overnight!

Like the solving of minor problems- count to ten, walk away, find a common goal! Thank you for your entry, Robert, and congrats!
