Inauguration

Oh, the promises were made for a victors dance I pray that fate is much more than chance Or else we fall victim to circumstance With a new leader in the house He said he could change, give what we require I pray he is right and that he will not tire That for all he promised he will aspire And not cower like a mouse But rather may he stand tall and with pride With all issues faced, I pray he not hide With hopes that he will truly decide While thinking of us all So, wish him some good wishes on this very day As he takes his very place in history’s play Though not an actor, one with the way May he answer then our call

The challenges Obama faces are many...and the road will wind in some difficult directions. I volunteered my time because I believe in this man. I wish all the same things as yourself Michael...with support from the citizens of this country...I think we will transcend! Much love, Steve

Michael, we all hope and pray for the best. But he can only do what the house and senate permit him to do. As with all Presidents they are the ones who get the blame when something goes astray but they answer to others. So I hope and pray that he is allowed to have his way. Thank you for sharing your poem with us today. Love, Carol
