A Tribute To President Obama
A Tribute To President Obama
Wrote this after hearing President Obama's
going away speech last night while in Chicago.
Had been born so I could survive
Then continue on and remain alive
Being thankfully giving God praise
Did things that others would amaze.
Must accomplish much and don't abort
Making sure I never sell myself short
Giving credit to them who do deserve
Off righteous path shall not swerve.
Many gave comfort and support to me
Here in land of brave and home of free
Sometimes I might ever create static
Supporting ideals that are democratic.
Was aware of what was right and wrong
And occasionally I would sing a song
Coming to my mind and setting pace
Oh, how I love to sing "Amazing Grace."
God, while I am on earth down below
All Your power on me, You did bestow
And I was clever not using chicanery
In pyramids will not find a grainery.
I thanked God for gaining His trust
Another way of life go I now must
Many blessed things are left behind
Completed all my duties as assigned.
