A politician once ran a campaign,
To win the hearts and minds, and gain
The support of all the delegates,
To represent them, and their fates.

But in the end, he didn't win,
And had to give a concession speech, within
Which he thanked his party and his team,
And said his goodbyes, with grace and esteem.

The Constitution, he reminded all,
Is the foundation of our country, standing tall
With rights and freedoms for one and all,
And it's up to us to heed its call.

So let's remember the lessons we've learned,
From this campaign, and all that's been earned,
And work together, hand in hand,
To make our nation the best in the land.

Reflections

1. What is a concession speech, and why is it important in a campaign?
2. What is the Constitution, and why is it important in our democracy?
3. Why is it important to work together, even if we have different political beliefs or belong to different political parties?
4. How would you feel if you lost a competition or election, and what would you do?
5. What lessons can we learn from this story about being a good winner or loser?
