I expected to wait, took a book
Along, but everything was well planned.
In minutes I was back out the door.
We were a varied group,
Young people,
A man with a walker,
Folks with different skin shades.
But somehow I felt connected to them,
Fellow citizens carrying out our
Civic duty, wanting our votes to
Count, to make a difference.
I thanked the poll workers who were
Kind and helpful, and I stuck the
Sticker on my coat, so grateful for
My privilege to vote.
Only God knows whether my
Choice is His.
But I pray that I will accept the
Results with grace and that after the
Election calmness will prevail just as it
Did today at the polls.
