the end

i'm losing the two men in my life
one to cancer
one to Arizona

they both talk to me
lovingly

they both call me
sweetheart
honey
baby
love...

one is losing his mind
the other is finding himself

where does that leave
me?

yes we can!

regain our faith and trust in the government
and in the world...
hope again...
tell our children that anything is possible...
and mean it...
believe that people can be trusted to do
what's right...
say that we are color-blind-
that black or white, red or blue
doesn't matter...
and, for the first time in ages
we can be proud to be americans...
