"o"

Eyes shine with the proud tears of a nation reborn From the ashes of corruption and greed, a unifying spirit will arise And he reassures and comforts the fears of the forlorn. We rejoice in his Presidency and the day he is sworn Into an Office tainted by eight years of endless lies Eyes shine with the proud tears of a nation reborn A Socialist, to those who look down on him with malicious scorn Progressive diplomat, to those of us who are not looking for a reprise And he reassures and comforts the fears of the forlorn. Some try to topple his efforts, but on that January morn Throngs of people will crowd and stare, as if looking at a beautiful sunrise Eyes shine with the proud tears of a nation reborn With patience and undying courage he will mend a nation torn Insurmountable obstacles are present, but he hears our cries And he reassures and comforts the fears of the forlorn Diligent leadership will help create progress to problems skyrocketing and airborne He promises he will stand with us in a time of lows or highs Eyes shine with the proud tears of a nation reborn And he reassures and comforts the fears of the forlorn

Its unbelievable that after 30 days people want to dis our new president. Whatever happened to the first 100 days? LOL ... you've written a wonderful write here, Jesse and I hope your hope and faith in the future is rewarded. As for myself, I am very proud to be a supporter of any "progressive" forward thinking person.
