A Tribute To Our President

I want to say I am thankful for our esteemed president Joe Biden has given his life in the service of the U.S.A. A godly man, an honest man, I don’t expect assent, I’m convinced he’s doing his absolute best, in every way. Joe Biden has given his life in the service of the U.S.A. The presidency is the world’s most demanding job I’m convinced he’s doing his absolute best, in every way I will not join in with those who petty insults lob. The presidency is the world’s most demanding job How many people are better qualified for this task? I will not join in with those who petty insults lob Can you name ten individuals who’d do better, I ask. How many people are better qualified for this task? Who has any idea of the magnitude of responsibility? Can you name ten individuals who’d do better, I ask, Admit Biden goes about his tasks with notable gentility. Who has any idea of the magnitude of responsibility Instead of making fun of a stumble or misspoken word, Admit Biden goes about his tasks with notable gentility A new sense of pride in our country, he has stirred. Instead of making fun of a stumble or misspoken word A godly man, an honest man, I don’t expect assent A new sense of pride in our country, he has stirred I want to say I am thankful for our esteemed president.

Wow, an actual positive piece on President Joe Biden! Thank you, Milt! I love Biden. I'll never apologize for my unwavering support for him. He is MY president. Is he perfect? No, but he has good heart. He has compassion for people, unlike his corrupt, narcissistic predecessor! Biden hardly gets credit for doing a good job and being a wonderful, caring human. It's really sad. So much fuss is made about his advanced age by Trump republicans, as if Trump isn't old himself. C'mon now...

I couldn't agree more, Edward, with everything you said. Be sure to note Robert's comment below. It was a big boost to my heart.

Milton, in April of '80 Senator Biden and Senator Baker, came aboard the USS Coral Sea, while we were in the Gulf of Oman and about to attempt a rescue of the 53 American hostages. He personally offered his support, a big morale booster for us! Indeed, a fine man.

Thank you, Robert, for this inspiring story to highlight my feelings that President Joe Biden is a good, honorable man who is doing his best to serve his country.

A wonderful tribute, Milt. It takes the energy of a man half his age to be president, so robust and responsive and tenacious, ["Biden" has these qualities for his age]! Personally, I'm not thrilled that freedom of speech is being used for a contest to bash our president! GL

Thanks so much, Anaya. I'm sure different folks swing different ways regarding President Biden. I happen to think he's doing a marvelous job. Certainly far better than I could do, so I have no complaints.

Milt, this is a wonderful poem and I agree, though I am Canadian, Joe is doing his best job, best of luck in the contest, well done !

I believe he is, Constance, and being an elderly man (like myself) I cannot imagine the pressure and stress. He is to be highly commended.

Stating your opinion about Joe Biden in a contest meant to bash him shows your support of a President who was left quite a mess to clean up. Well done, win or not.

Oh, I don't expect I'll even place. You are right. The contest was clearly meant to bash him. But, I'll get read!

Great tribute to Joe Biden Milton, I think he's doing a fine job, I like the man. Tom

I do, too, Tom. I certainly don't agree with every decision of this or any administration, but I do believe, overall, he has the best interests of our country at heart.

As I earned a good living cleaning up the messes made by incompetent CEOs, I have better understanding of what Trump left for Biden. Consider Trump's "play golf and blame others" ethos to Biden's "Face the Flak". History will support your evaluation. Aloha! Rico

I certainly hope so, Rico. I considered exactly what you are saying when I was writing this poem, but I thought I'd go the direction I took. Thanks for your thoughts and your comment.
