Witnessed at a State Funeral

    Sparks of humanity 
       get a look-see
         occasionally

    Obama and Trump
       engaged in repartee

    a smile, a grin, a tee-hee
      POTUS’ acting like you and me

This is heartwarming Gershon. I hadn't seen it but so happy to hear!

It happened... and here's to more of the same: Two politicians from opposite sides of the aisle speaking peaceably to each other. ~ Gershon

Wonderful observation Gershon and lovely response to what took place. Two civil interactions taking place for two rivals showing a human side to both putting politics aside and being honest to each other and engaging in warm conversation. This one is a favor Gershon for noticing this moment through your kindred heart for humanity. Be blessed my friend and a favorite...
