Change she is a comin now <br />I's sees it comin down this old dirt road. <br />Been a long time comin for sure <br />thought I's was gonna die before I's knowd. <br /> <br />My pa and ma has passed away <br />Gone now to meets da Lord. <br />Always told me to be a good little girl <br />and to do as I's was told. <br /> <br />I's plowed da fields and picked the cotton <br />read the good book every day. <br />I's lived the best life of any I's could <br />And now have lived to see great History made today. <br /> <br />A man of skin almost as dark as mine <br />President of dis great United States. <br />Took our peoples long enough I's say <br />To bring us out from white of man's mistake. <br /> <br />I's couldn't be more proud of him <br />Mr. Barack Obama my forty forth U.S. President. <br />Now God can come and take me home <br />I's lived all of this life God for me had meant.<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/change-she-is-a-comin/
