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. James Serious Mysterious Horn Retired Veteran and Poet
