For Joe and Kamala

4 Comments

May you have courage and strength,

because you will need it.

May you have energy and good health,

because you will need it.

May your spouses be strong

because you will need them to be.

May your advisors tell you the truth,

not what they think you want to hear.

May you listen to all sides

before making decisions.

May you work well together

and respect each other.

May you form good relationships

on both sides of the aisle.

May you reunite this country

because you will have to.

May you surpass your own expectations

because the future of our country is in your hands.

I have a deep curiosity about the world and its inhabitants.
