5-minute Freewrite: Prompt- Important

The swearing in of Malaysia's 7th Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad

The sun started peeking
Shyly from the silverline
Drawing courage from flocks of feathers
Soaring freely in the sky

Left, right, left, right
Each step forming an alliance
Walks of life gathering
Inching toward the same purpose

A great time of witnessing
The unfolding of a new history
Ballots counted, eyes watching
The nation awaits for a new dawning

Hands clenching
Hearts pounding
Tears trickling
To the official swearing

A new day has come
A new page in writing
Of a remembrance so important
The anthem sing

May 9th, 2018 marked a new start for my country, Malaysia as we witnessed the change of a new ruling government. We have experienced love, hope, empowering and trust as we exercised our responsibility and right to vote for a better future. May this important day be remembered always, and serve as a loud voice to call forth greatness into action. Our new Prime Minister is 93 years old, one may be advanced in age, but so is wisdom and grace. When all else fails, love never fails. May God bless Malaysia, together we arise and build.
