An inspiration, a father, an American President, a husband,
unwaivering faith, a son, a leader with an outstreched hand.
A seeker of wisdom through compassionate eyes of insight,
illuminating, a brilliant spokemen who's truths can reunite.
Let us arise, entwine as a Nation of Freedom, living dreams,
being the solution instead of giving into extremist regimes.
Let us all unite individually, to finish this fresh photograph,
for present ways of waste lands, leads to pathways of wrath.
Though today has brought us new visions of pure harmony,
I for one am looking inward to see what changes live freely.
For the greater goodness of my neighbors, friends, and kin,
may all faithful souls bestow encouragement deeply within.
Remembering dark yesteryears, but none repeating reruns,
through sickness and in health, carrying brother's burdens.
With deep sincerity of soul, may we all lead and not follow,
let our differences build bridges, and love not ring shallow.
Let truth and justice, be the fairness that prevails in the law,
may there be peace, liberty, and happiness for one and all.
