What can I say to the world,
blinded by light,
shining to illuminate the darkness,
the darkness of my soul?
Is this not a joyful moment?
Joe Bidden is now our president.
He knows well heartbreak and loss.
Today he invites us to gather and heal,
to knit together our unraveled sleeve of care.
Today we blossom forth
with Kamala as our companion,
as together we pray,
may we be holy, make us one again.
Let hope and gratitude flourish
as we return to the land of beauty
and pray the words of JFK:
“Ask not what your country can do for you,
ask what you can do for country.”
Yes, dear God, make us one again.
