Is It Too Much To Ask?
by Manndi DeBoef

Is it too much to ask for our leaders to be an example?
For our country to move forward,
In this needed phase of change?
For citizens to come together;
Loved ones cease to be estranged.

Is it too much to ask for a brother to lend a hand?
For a sister to make amends;
For a husband to admit his wrong;
For a wife to try and understand.

Is it too much to ask for the violence to stop?
For hearts to soften toward each other;
For loved ones to rebuild broken bonds;
For children to witness healing that comes from admitting wrong.

Is it too much to ask to stop the pointed fingers?
To cease the hateful speech;
To lessen the name-calling;
To stop abusing our freedom of speech.

Is it too much to ask for hearts to soften in alliance?
Forgiveness to be asked and given;
Hatred melting fully into love;
Coming together from the division.

Is it too much to ask for the slinging to slow down?
For the right and left to merge toward the middle;
For the donkey and elephant to make nice;
For the country to surrender toward the good of all.

Is it too much to ask that today may surprise each and every person?
A welcome sign of refuge;
A glorious banner of truth.
The road toward healing to begin;
A faithful hope it's not too late.

Is it too much to ask for friends to overcome;
For families to seek amends?
For our country’s broken ties
To bind united once again.
