It's personal

Maybe it's because I've met him,
maybe it's we share a faith,
Maybe it's the fact that I usually side with the minority
Like always the Indian, never the cowboy.
It feels like one of my family is now the President elect,
Like we are wise enough to elect a healer
after 8 years of blundering.
Yes, it's personal; the pride, the joy,
the well fought fight...an election night
that beats all other election nights.
Hail to the chief, Barak.
I will pray for your safety daily.
And I can say once again,
with enthusiasm,
I'm proud to be an American!

I have always been proud to be an American, even during the "I feel your pain" era. But especially during the last 8 years of safe and secure at last.
