21. we wanted a happy ending so badly
and we finally got one, today.

And now, our new President has a rendezvous with destiny. We get to join him, and it is exciting.

It won't be easy, lots of times it won't be rewarding, but I have hope today for the first time in a long time -- for my country.

I'm so excited, the first thing that comes to mind is what the rest of the world must be thinking now -- they must be so relieved that the US will have a President who wants to heal the rifts . . .

I got chills tonight when I listened to Obama's speech.

I'm just happy, and I feel like we so deserve this, all of us.

19. I feel a sense of calmness and peace that I haven't felt for a long time and with that "Hope"
I bought the key change the other day. I carry it proudly and have, it has President Obama's face on it and the word Hope..it fits because that is what he gives me..

I think all this is beyond the realm of my comprehension right now. I want to watch it over, and over, and over.

28. I'm whipped with exhaustion, but the feeling within me is still vibrant...
Edited on Wed Nov-05-08 02:38 AM by Dennis Donovan
For and By Woody Guthrie

This Land

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me

As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

Chorus

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.

Chorus (2x)
