DEAR GOD ~ PLEASE MAKE AMERICA ~ GREAT AGAIN !
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on TRUMP & BREXIT
If you can trust yourself ~ when the whole World\'s in turmoil
Then don\'t look back and cry ~ look forward please and PRAY and FIXIT
If you can still dream ~ but not make dreams your master
If you can still think ~ but not make thoughts your aim
If you can bear to face that the TRUTH of EACH ELECTION
And watch the things you gave your life to broken
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to all \"Hold on !\"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue
Or walk with kings ~ nor lose the common touch
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you
If all men count with you but none too much !
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run
Then you\'ll be a LADY ~ my sweet Daughter
Then you will be a MAN ~ my loving SON !
Thanks for reading ~ comments please ~ Love to all ~ BRIAN
As a true European ~ I am sorry about BREXIT
As a lover of the USA ~ I would have preferred HILLARY
As a CHRISTIAN ~ I fear for an increasingly Secular World
But I still have Faith ~ Hope ~ Love ~ AMEN !
