Inauguration Day 2009: A Writer's Dilemma


While I can conjure up the words, I can't seem to organize them into a narrative that fully expresses my thoughts and feelings about the inauguration of our country's new president.

The words seem to organize themselves into silent prayers
of thanksgiving for the gift of witnessing this historic event;
of hope for unity and reconciliation among citizens of our great nation; and
prayers of protection for President Obama and his family.
