For there is always light, if only we are brave enough to see it, 
If only we are brave enough to be it."

I liked these lines because it seems like this is a message telling people not to be afraid of the future and that we need to be brave to see the future or "new dawn"

I like this line because sometimes when there's a sad time in my life, I just don't have enough courage to think more positive and look on a brighter side]]> 2021-02-05 16:45:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jmirsch1/ertq6v4d87sca2jl/wish/1169128971 "But that doesn't mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect.We are striving to forge our union with purpose" 22agomez7 https://padlet.com/jmirsch1/ertq6v4d87sca2jl/wish/1169129359 I think it's important to accept our faults as a nation in order to fix them]]> 2021-02-05 16:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jmirsch1/ertq6v4d87sca2jl/wish/1169129359 Phillip Tran https://padlet.com/jmirsch1/ertq6v4d87sca2jl/wish/1169130857 "We must first put our differences aside.
We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another.
We seek harm to none and harmony for all." This line resonates with me because I think it is good to not treat others differently, and everyone should be treated the same way.

We are striving to forge our union with purpose." I very much agree with not being able to be perfect. The fact that America can at least strive for some purpose while being torn apart, is the best thing of all.]]> 2021-02-05 16:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jmirsch1/ertq6v4d87sca2jl/wish/1169131324 22anguyen19 https://padlet.com/jmirsch1/ertq6v4d87sca2jl/wish/1169131444 "That even as we grieved, we grew.
That even as we hurt, we hoped. 
That even as we tired, we tried that we will forever be tied together." Theses lines resonated with me as it shows that even though we have gone through a lot with 2020 and the whole covid situation we learned from it. Theses lines give off hope to the listener.

We will rebuild, reconcile, and recover, in every known nook of our nation, in every corner called our country, our people diverse and beautiful, will emerge battered and beautiful."
The alliteration of the letter r, and the meaning behind the words themselves showed a sense of dedication and determination that resonated with me.]]> 2021-02-05 16:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jmirsch1/ertq6v4d87sca2jl/wish/1169132990 Alan Le https://padlet.com/jmirsch1/ertq6v4d87sca2jl/wish/1169133145 "We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another.
We seek harm to none and harmony for all" These lines appeal to me because if everyone can uplift each other and help one another out, we all can become our best images. This also connects to my life as when I help out people, they are also brought up.

We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another." I liked these lines because she's talking about how we should end violence and embrace each other instead. We are all different and need to be able to live in harmony.

For there is always light, if only we are brave enough to see it, 
If only we are brave enough to be it." This resonated with me because it was a good ending to the poem and it was nice to hear. This connects to real life because people are heading away from the light and this is a reminder of what it really is.

We must first put our differences aside.
We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another."
I chose this quote because it is true that we need to put aside differences in order to have a better future or outcome. I connects to me personally because I know that the people I dislike and I came together to help solve a common goal and we both enjoyed that time together.

And yet, the dawn is hours before we knew it.
Somehow we do it."
I just really liked these lines. How what is now normal is not justice, not right. Dawn, to me is figurative of leaving the past behind us. And that somehow we do change and break these norms of the past.

We will not march back to what was, but move to what shall be. "
These lines are interesting because when something bad happens to us, we shouldn't linger in the past, but rather move forward and be better.
