[Vision2020] Inauguration Day

Inauguration Day
 
by Ilene Bauer
 
It all went off without a hitch 
To everyone’s relief, 
With unity throughout the land 
The overall motif. 
 
The swearings-in both made me cry, 
The tears a sweet release, 
The opposite of those brought on 
By rioters and police. 
 
The musical performances 
Did more than just uplift, 
So powerful, each one was like 
A sorely-needed gift. 
 
And how about the poet? 
Poised and passionate, a thrill 
To hear someone so eloquent 
And young, with so much skill. 
 
At last, the speech we’d waited for – 
He spoke of how his soul 
Would help respect democracy 
And make our nation whole. 
 
The past four years have brought us down – 
So many couldn’t cope, 
But now today, I think we 
can Allow ourselves to hope.
