The world has changed
since I was a young girl
growing up in America.
Rules and regulations meant
we expected others to act
and talk with civility.
There were lines
no one dared to cross,
because we knew
those rules were the glue
that held us fast to one another
with a common purpose.
It took hard-earned respect
from each of us
to build a community
that believed in
the very best
of our humanity.
My heart yearns for the years
that seem lost forever:
A world where facts
were based on truth,
and the rule of law
was made for all.
Life was simple then.
We watched the seasons
come and go,
and we believed
that good would
triumph over evil.
I am not ready
to accept a world
filled with such
chaos and hate,
where people refuse
to relate with one another.
Let us work together
To heal this broken world,
so once again we can
find serenity,
and peace within
Our Country.
