Hopes For The Election

As a mostly quiet American,
I have hopes for the election.
That no matter who wins,
there will be acceptance from
the other side.
Other people and I,
don't want post-election violence
filling our country's streets.
We don't desire relatives, friends
bitter at their Thanksgiving tables.

I pray as I pen this writing,
that peace descends upon the
nation,
so we as the U.S. can go into
the festive time of year with
shalom u'vrakha. ~
