Barack Obama: My Inspirationn Poem by Sophanie Occean

Barack Obama is his name.
Playing Basketball and Being the First African-American president is his game.
He grew up as a Gentlemen,
Raised by his Single mom and Grandparents.

Barry his Know nickname,
Came from a background of black and white parents,
He grew up with out a father

Despite many challenges he faced as a child,
Through his years of a teenager
He still gave the best of his ability in time for school
And became my inspiration

There was a day that came,
When he caught my attention by a flash
I thought Oh My Ghosh!
Who is this Remarkable man giving this Captivating speech,
About why wanting to be President.

As I Researched,
I became more and more Intrested,
Curiously wanting to crack the Books

All I Talked about was B.O
But to me he wasnt only the Current President nor an Ordinary man
but i saw him as my Role model, my own dad..

In Addition,
A future Historian to my life as an African-American
Taking a stand showing This Future Nation that we all Have equal rights
No matter What race we are and where we come from

I sayy This about Pres.Obama because,
No matter How busy he is,
He devoted his time to his Family as a father,
who didnt grow up with one

As a Student Moving on to High school that Also cannot vote..
I still give my opinion upon politial events around the world,
and now B.O made a difference in my life as an African-american,
Growing up to be Tommorows Future

I give all my thanks to MY President Barack Obama,
Because you gave me the courage, reason, and inspiration to be someone makin a difference.
You Inspired me in a Positive way Thank you!
