Life As a Us Diplomat
Life as a U.S. Diplomat
For 27 years
I served my country
As a diplomat
I worked all over the world
Advancing US government policies
Promoting American values.
Helping foreigners visit the U.S.
Helping Americans overseas
Issuing thousands of visas.
Talking to thousands of people
Every day,
In my fractured tortured English,
Korean, Thai, and Spanish.
In the end,
I just remained
A boy who grew up in Berkeley.
And was eternally grateful and amazed
For the opportunity to serve
My country.
