Cars honking, people cheering
Making loud noises to express great jubilation
With the results of the Presidential election
The loud noise was music to my ears
It shows Democracy is alive and kicking
Our voices are heard and
Our votes counted
It shows when we unite,
We can bring about change
During time of turmoil and pandemic
The past 4 years has been tough
Especially for climate, science,
Women and immigrants
When we hear the leader of the free world
Ignite division among the people
Like America only belonged to one color
They did not call this land of the free
And home of the brave
If no one is willing to take on the fight
To defend the rights
Of everyone living in this land
Last night on TV, we saw an old man from Delaware
At a ripe age of seventy eight
When most men's desire is only to retire
He accepted the challenge
When he started in his career, he was one of the youngest
At 78, he will be the oldest ever American president
It just shows age does not dictate the life we are meant to live
It's never too early or too late to live a life of purpose and service
His first lady is a woman with a career of her own
An English professor , an educator
He chose a capable woman of color,
Daughter of immigrants
to hold the second highest position in the land
Breaking glass ceiling,
Inspiring young girls
That they can be anything
This is only the beginning
Fighting the good fight is never easy
They will be put under a microscope
vilified, maligned and criticized
But keep going, keep the faith
and spread it like wildfire
Ignited by a little spark of light
We all have within us
