"Hope and Trepidation"

Standing at the gate,
Gazing at the dawn of a new day,
Filled with hope and trepidation.

Will we come together, in joy, hope and play?
Or will it be more conflict and division.

Our future is in our hands;
We can step through the gate
Into a rainbow filled new day, or
We can keep on our blinders and only see dark clouds
Ahead.

Our answer must be in unity,
To join hands and work
For a better future for all.
No need for name calling,
No need for backbiting and spite.
Let us walk together into the future,
Putting behind us
The "Past and the Night."

“Hope and Trepidation”
