One Choice: Obama

Yes, we could

For eight long years,
we’ve been waiting to exhale.
And when we did,
it stirred a breeze along the Atlantic
that swept over this nation,
lifting up our spirits as a collective soul,
shattering our burden of barriers past,
and opening our hearts to hope… possibility…
and pride restored.
Tears streamed down as memories of those
who paved this path, and fell for it,
came to mind —
Abraham… Martin…
Bobby & John.
How sweet those tears tasted,
as hundreds,
thousands,
hundreds of thousands
gathered in Grant Park.
This victory belongs to you and me, he says.
Our future belongs to you Barack, we say.
May the hope you instilled in us
be your North Star,
guiding you on a
safe and true path
as you steer this nation
back to greatness.

God bless our 44th president, Barack Obama!
