That Vote was Mine

It was a vote to say "no" to the politics of hatred and division
It was a vote to prove that America is still the land of opportunity and dreams
It was a vote to bring together all peoples of peace and justice
It was a vote to say "yes" to the future
It was a vote to bring hope to our children
It was a vote to say that all people matter regardless of age, gender, or race
It was a vote to say "yes" to inclusion
It was a vote to prove that democracy is still alive
It was a vote of strength
It was a vote of confidence
It was a vote of courage
It was a vote of love
It was a vote to shout out the audacity of hope and the fierce urgency of now

And that vote
was mine
