Quest For President

O ye of fame, favor, and faith                                                                                                        O ye of power and great intent                                                                                                      O ye of power and endless egos

Hear ye what history has spoken                                                                                                    Hear ye well, for we are hoping

Seek not to change our yesterdays                                                            Seek not to sell impossible tomorrows                                                         Sow purity, honesty, wisdom, and truth today
Share with us your very best
Show and tell your visions of success
Speak of life, liberty, and happiness
Stand boldly, strong, and lead us wisely

If you do these things sincerely;
And if your presidential quest should fail,
You will have become more than just a President.
And indeed, you will have succeeded most supremely.
