Each day I awake
in uncertain times.
Will our freedoms survive
with our new President’s wish to be king?
Yet each day I’m glad to relish joy,
be thankful for surviving
what has ended life for so many more.
I’ve a sweet life to relish.
My life past and present
a daily duty to contribute
to lasting freedom for all.
My joy – love of nature and beauty around us.
My obligation – to help keep freedoms
that many before me have fought for us all.
My joy – so glad I survived.
My task – so important.
Help keep democracy alive.
