There is a place called Hope, Arkansas <br />Where a little boy grew up <br />No one ever dreamed that one day <br />His name would be on a special cup <br /> <br />At first he was raised by grandparents <br />They did the best they could <br />To give this little boy all their love <br />As all good grandparents would <br /> <br />The home in which he was raised <br />Was built in the year of 1917 <br />But now a large foundation <br />Has turned a childhood into a dream <br /> <br />For this little boy as a man became <br />The 42nd president of the USA <br />A child who grew up in Hope <br />Would lead a nation some day!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-boy-in-hope/
