To Obama



In honor of a wonderful day for this country. To President Obama. This day is so exciting for all Americans. What a connected, loving country we are today. No more hatred for our president but honor and respect. Let us move forward.

I wrote a poem for the occasion.

A New Day

We
gather n
rejoice today

a new day

A sea of hope
and red white
blue
with connection
not rejection

A day
We
move forward
in blissful chaos

No better time
for change
than now
because

Yes
We
Can

We
shout
in unison
with excitement
not anger

History today

New tomorrows

In a Praise Song
We
hum together
Not Divided
but One

From the darkness
We
march out
into a brighter sky
in Washington

And I feel the charge
in New York
in anytown

ready to be supportive
not hateful

ready for faith
ready for a catalyst

the catalyst
We
have been waiting for

n finally
has come

We
thank
and celebrate
for the new day
arisen

Together
We
join

n if Yes
We
did, then
Yes
We
Will
