Barack Obama

Observe the wave of new-found cheer:
Note the parade of happy days,
Explore what saves the moments here.
Bestow free trade to forge the way,
Align your heart with ties that bind,
Reach out to touch a hurting world;
Abide and grow true peace that signs,
Charm gathers much in ample swirls;
Keeper of peace in times of strain,
Offer to be the light that grows;
Bright days increase despite the pains,
Appraise and see wise kindness flow;
Meet peoples' need in extreme times,
Aim poise discrete to face such chimes.

Judy Konos Date: 5/3/2015 6:39:00 PM You're my feeling of happiness that comes from within.. The first time I heard you ...I knew you were friend ... You're the very best President America has had... And far more important, you're such a great dad! . Login to Reply Leon Enriquez Date: 5/3/2015 6:42:00 PM Dear Judy: I feel the same way although I live in a small island state in SE Asia. Hence, this small tribute to the first African American US president. Thank you for the comments. Leon
