Center Yourself

Center yourself, breathe

reach out to ancestors for strength

new history,  you can’t believe

has one at rope’s length

Center yourself, pray

archangels stand readily armed

call on power of The One Creator

so no nation may be harmed

Center yourself, believe

 ideals in parchment and stone

cherished by the multitude 

who call this nation home

Center yourself, laugh

see humor in argument

gasping tears into wet drawers

best medicine for turbulent
