I remember
Long summer days
And quiet, tree-lined streets
Filled with friendly neighbors
Who smiled often and spoke kindly.
My mother
Was a Republican
Who didn't always support
Her Grand Old Party,
However,
She did help elect
The first woman mayor
In our City by the Bay.
I don't remember
Angry crowds
Acting out poorly,
Or feeling threatened in any way -
Just respectful adults
Doing their homework
And sharing information
Before entering a booth
That held all of our dreams.
