President Barack Obama's Inauguration Poem by Jim Norausky
President Barack Obama's Inauguration
President Obama takes his constitutional oath
hundreds of thousands of witnesses shout approval
on the national mall
and pray for his success to benefit humanity.
While in the hopeful eyes of millions across the land
President Lincoln's arms at his Memorial open wider
hands no longer holding his nation's stone chair tightly
and silently waiting for segregation to truly end.
(January 20,2009)
'Hopeful eyes' are truly awating better things - - and the more important issues like 'segregation' are listed in your fine poem Jim - - - - thank you .... Fay.
