A prayer for the new PM

A prayer for the new PM

Lord, may we enjoy this honeymoon.
Lord, give us some time 
To find pleasure in our new PM,
His charm, his wit, his family,
His energy, his hair, his all-around handsomeness.
May we enjoy his smile that betrays
His youthful optimism, his lack of cynicism.  
Give us some time to bask in the radiance
Of his hopefulness, his sincerity 
In believing that in ethnic diversity 
There is strength, in gender equality
There is principle, in giving refuge to those in need 
There is justice, and in acknowledging the traditions
Of our indigenous forbearers there is necessity.
Let us enjoy this moment, without doubt or questioning 
Because, as he said quizzically, it’s 2015.
So let us enjoy Lord
Until the next session of Parliament, at least.
