What a Beautiful Thing

It would be the frosting on the cake
The cherry on top
The soda pop bubbling over
at the soda pop shop

The sun on our faces
Eclipses don't stare
The orange face broken
and full of despair

What a beautiful thing
to see his head held low
World's view of us fuller
could finally again grow

Start over with Pence
I shudder to think
He'd still be better
than being on the brink

There's SO far to go
We're not even close
to finding the answers
to questions from all folks

Both "sides" red or blue
have some learning to do
Can connect if we try
It's what we must do

In closing I find myself
tearing up a bit
This place that's so beautiful
could work if we commit

To stand together among friends
and foes all the like
I know it's not all rainbows 
and kumbaya despite

Find strength in the light
Find strength in the day
Find strength in the night
Find strength in what's right
