The 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 us a picture of yourself,
And not a portrait of your party.
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
You will become more than just a President
And if your presidential quest should fail
You will have supremely succeeded
