And I'm hoping that DC enjoys a little bit of a warming trend over the next few days as well.

he came to this day
knowing
he will stand for his american people
as united states would lead the nation
there is a change
there is hope
there is faith
when obama walked into
a White House
he is the first black president
in this century
and
my family has gather around the big screen
watching history floats in air
clearly believe the eyes of ancestors
gazing down and beautifully shouts
from heavens
tears roll out of the souls
when he said his powerful speech
i came to see this man
who leads our people
on an auguaration day
when he became mr. president obama
at 12 noon
the faces of great happiness
cruise around the globe
i think i knew someday
someone who's black and lead this country
i even knew someday
a woman would become the president, too
44th president
44th black president
Obama
the world knows his name
chanting his name in the sky
Obama, Obama
in breaths of bliss
oh bless this freedom, bless my country
bless to be an american
red, white, blue
historian event
lingers my tongue
when i speak of change
while i saw people stood in the cold
cheering on and on
chanting Obama, Obama
through extraordinary moments of enthusiasm
smiles through winter
a lot of people ignores the cold
outside in D.C.
crying for joy
wearing Obama suvierners
being part of that beautiful american hisory
children in all races,
looking at this black man become the president in their generation
saying, "i want to be just like him"
anything is possible if we have faith in the way we change
it is a dream
Dr. King's dream realized
people came to the
National Mall
from each continent
like Africa, Asia, Europe
etc.
they wanted to see the history
being made
to their own eyes
as i watch this wonderful auguaration
my heart is filled with grace
not just his brown skin
but there is a change that takes the toll of America
it will take time
yet
a beautiful emotion runs
on the freezy wind
as it carries our souls
and let us fly like an american eagle
lifting our spirits up
when we call him,
Mr. President now
while tears are streaming down
proudly
thinking, yes we we can
yes we will
we got Obama
in every swimming thought
President Obama
my President Obama
to this day
January 20, 2009
no one ever thought this day
that obama will run for office
but i knew a black man will run for presdential in United States
to me, it is like Christmas Day
with a first African American president
coming to the white house
who will bring change
in our people
in our country
in our world...
