Demilade
Spring out of ocean
Water in the desert
My sweetest princess
You are the epitome of beauty
Virtuous than all the glamours of rubies
My daughter
My pearl
I love you so much
I love you.

Soft as the sirens song I first heard her laughter
and when I saw her pretty face I was hers ever after
Malia! Malia!
your brown eyes my soul they capture
Malia! Malia!
in your arms I found loves rapture
The joy she gave I could not return
for her heart was broken
A tragic love of long ago
of which was never spoken
I tried to make her smile
and fill her days with gladness
but each night she softly mourned
falling asleep in sadness
Malia! Malia!
why can't I mend your shatter heart
Malia! Malia!
your bitter kiss sweet yet tart
She left me on a winters night
alone I did wake
I searched and searched for her
my own heart she did brake
I can't forget her tenderness
and pray for her return
My precious love I miss her so
each night for her I yearn
Malia! Malia!
I can never let you go
Malia! Malia!
forever you haunt my soul
Malia! Malia!
your brown eyes my soul they capture
Malia! Malia!
in your arms I found loves rapture
Malia...

Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama, our first African American first lady has her own accomplishments which far exceed what she had dreamed of when she was a little girl in Chicago. She has been a lawyer, university administrator, writer, and advocate. She has won a grammy award, shorty award, and Nickelodean Kid’s Choice award. She is multi-talented, presidential enough to be elected president herself. She has shown grace, confidence and beauty in the face of every challenge. Her husband Barack and her children Malia and Sasha are proud of her and her accomplishments. “I always tell young girls to surround yourself with goodness,” she is quoted. “I learned early on how to get haters out of my life.”
She is the vision of assertive womanhood.
