And Americans again met it with grace,
People flocked to watch history pass,
Not just blacks and whites ~ Multi class,
TV’s were on in schools and in homes,
This day did not stand alone,
For those who believe tears were shed,
There were skeptics ~ And there was dread,
Yet, all stood together locked arm-in-arm,
A page in history turned with charm,
Bitter cold and still the people came,
Smiles and tears came from one and the same,
Once called “”Colored” ~ “Negro“ ~ Then “Black”,
The older the memory ~ The sweeter ~ This Act,
His hand lay softly on the Bible Abe read,
As he took the oath ~ He meant what he said,
As the oath was given and not exactly right,
So it was given again in the middle of the night
“I have a dream” was answered this day,
And King was remembered ~ Honored displayed,
A President now stood before a massive crowd,
And yet, silence and reverence made not a sound,
The world watched this man take his place,
As the 44th President ~ And they trusted his face,
Aretha Franklin ~ The Queen of Soul,
Lent her voice to the Inaugural show,
As America’s new President spoke to the world,
A hush was evident ~ As each word was unfurled,
His words fell together ~ Like water to the falls,
Presidential and eloquent ~ Young , strong and tall.
~~~~
Still the beauty of this day lay in younger hands,
Two delightful little girls who had no plans,
Other than holding hands and making bouncing a fad,
All they care about ~ Is the man they call, “Dad.” [comments] => 3 [counter] => 320 [topic] => 41 [informant] => tifrob [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )
