Today, on this day, we have a new leader, <br />role model, a stellar choice <br />for those who can not raise their voice. <br /> <br />We come together as many whispers <br />To speak the name Obama, <br />As we all grow from his calm presence and strength <br />The decibel becomes louder and louder. <br /> <br />Across countries, over seas and continents <br />Even before the angels spoke the name Barack to his parents, <br />His destiny was foretold and written, <br />Before segregation was forbidden, <br />Before interracial relationships even existed. <br /> <br />Now he is bringing together nations <br />Through his diplomacy and family relations. <br />Diversity, adversity, prosperity and honor of responsibility <br />Are the strong ideals and principles he brings to the presidency <br />In a time that is war worn and filled with economical uncertainty. <br /> <br />His amazing grace, his charismatic stance <br />Are reminiscent of great leaders of the past. <br />His future so luminous and with promise so full <br />He’ll lead our country to King’s dream fulfilled. <br /> <br />On this day in history we have come together in solidarity. <br />We have united yet again because we are proud, hopeful Americans. <br />The prayers will be many; the road will be long as we enthusiastically sing Obama’s song.<br /><br />Cassandra Boyd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/obama-s-song/
