Over Wednesday's cup of afternoon tea...

...I watched the speeches, heard the cheers,

And felt a lot of the world stand still.

Anthemic music, the promise of years,

Ahead, be brighter, and change be willed.

All the while I prayed, and thought,

How really, God can be the only flawless leader,

The only one whose promises will always be kept,

And whose love, will always remain...

So I sipped my tea, and I hoped that they,

Who chose their president this day,

Acted in love, and not in hate, 

Of what I believe was great president before him,

And a fine campaigner opposing him.

I thought about how much I love America,

And hope that they will remember,

Love is the only thing that prevails,

Love never fails.
