To America, with all my best hopes and wishes and crossed fingers

[LeftishBrit]

Sometimes things don't go, after all,

from bad to worse. Some years, muscadel

faces down frost; green thrives; the crops don't fail,

sometimes a man aims high, and all goes well.

A people sometimes will step back from war;

elect an honest man, decide they care

enough, that they can't leave some stranger poor.

Some men become what they were born for.

Sometimes our best efforts do not go

amiss, sometimes we do as we meant to.

The sun will sometimes melt a field of sorrow

that seemed hard frozen: may it happen for you.

4. Thank you.

When I cast my vote two weeks ago, I was also thinking about redeeming ourselves in the eyes of the world, especially our great allies--especially the ones we defeated fascism with.

Now it's up to us to do it again.
