Poem for Obama

In America today, a man won an election.

He made history, but he is just a man.

He gave America a victory.

He gave America a new hope.

He gave America her pride back.


For just one night, all eyes were on a man.

Now all eyes are on a President.

He gave the world a victory.

He gave the world a new hope

He gave the world her pride back.


Now is the time for change.

Now is the time for peace.

He has a hard job ahead of him.

He will have the weight of the world on him.

He has the courage to win.


This man needs us to stand behind him

To stand up and be counted

To shout out and say,

“We have the courage to change”
