Notes On An Election
And the election came about
Our land chose its leader
Hard work on both sides
and now the results are in
An African - American
stands once again at the helm
of our ship of state
Let's hope the ship
has smooth sailing
Although knowing the way the world is
I doubt that the trip will be easy
America is the furnace
where the fate of mankind
is being forged
Despite our faults
we still offer much hope
to mankind
Now that the "American Dilemma"
has faded somewhat
Say a prayer for our leaders
Difficulties can be conquered
If we work together we can move ahead
Rejoice in nature's bounty
Turn our cities into"gardens for the human spirit"!
