Personal Selection | Pondering Election
For the past eight years
my vote seemed inconsequential
especially in the elections
that were presidential
In the first one I had voted
among the nation’s majority
Yet America’s decision
was over-ruled by state authority
The second I was not sure of
being given lackluster choices
I felt insecure within myself
among so many other voices
But there was a glimmer of hope
when two years ago Congress shifted
my faith restored in those who vote
I was feeling quite uplifted
Yet now I am feeling anxious
as we approach another November
The real reason for my vote
is what I want to remember
I am an American
with my vote I show my pride
knowing that all by myself
such appointments I don’t decide
The outcome is not up to me
in this thought I find relief
It really does not matter
who is Commander in Chief
What matters is I voted
and that I have done my part
my decision based not on politics
but the promptings of my heart
and VOTE!
