I was totally inspired today as our new President was sworn into office. I had written this poem before and thought it might fit this historic event.
"Here" copyrights ~P.Suzette Caudill~
here, among the gathered.
words of hope and gratitude
ring throughout the village
this change and strength renewed
wake up little one, come see your future's dawn
hurry sweet promise, hurry
bring change for everyone.
see there in the distance
joined hands bridge our weary souls
hold up my brother's shoulders
less he grow tired and stumble from the cold
declare your gift of freedom
and mercy for the weak
feed the retched poet
who's lost the will to speak
fix the poor man’s window
so he won't feel the chill
bring comfort to the solider
who is humbled by the kill
take away the pain
of those desperate for revenge
bleed for the hearts
whose innocence won't be avenged
pray for the lost
that God grant restitution
pray that his word clear up all our confusion
pray for your country
for every child, every man
pray your will be done lord
and may God bless this great land
