I Though We Could Save the World

When I was a young adult the country was ready to burst. Voices were shouting. Women, African Americans, war protesters, the hungry and homeless were demanding to be heard.

My Real Husband and I thought we could save the world.

Not only that but we decided we would start a whole new family - a new nation. We would be Sarah and Abraham.

We thought we could save the world.

And in some small ways we did. But mostly we were the ones who were saved.

Today I'm just trying to keep my little place at the table clean.
