Belief


He tells us, we can
He tells to believe
He tells us that we can
I if just believe in
Some did not believe at the beginning
But he did,
In 2008, some faces were OD,
He did it, he can
We were behind him in his election
He never give up, because it is his dream
He is a perseverance guy,
He believe in his dream,
And it come true cause he can
I, maybe a kid but I learn much in this
ELECTION
Now I believe
I can do everything I want,
Everything that I can if I just believe in.
This is a history,
that I will tell my children in the future,
BELIEVE your dream.

Inauguration poem response

Praise songs for the day
A poem written and recited by Elizabeth Alexander, is the most impressive poem that was selected as the most excited poem ever. This poem talked about the hope, the believe, and the way we are looking for the future.
At the first read " praise songs for the day" tittle of the poem, and the knowledge I had that the poem is going to report on the Election, I had the feeling that the next lines of the poem is for the believe and the future and our dream of our beautiful country, The United States of America. Reading the some verses of the poem especially,

A woman and her son wait for the bus.
A farmer considers the changing sky.
A teacher says, Take out your pencils. Begin.

Each line represent our life of everyday, the way we are living more over our regular activities. For example, every woman with their child, hope and their dream are the best future of their children. The farmer, considering the hanging of the sky, for the plants to grow up, and the changing of the sky, the father sky to cry for the raining and the plants to grow up, for the chance to sell some vegetable food from their farm. Moreover, the teachers doing their students, cause it is their job and hoping for their students to be the ones that will change the country a better place to live , plus, to bring the hope back. This three lines are talking about the hope of every person and all their hope. They belief, they believe in for the change to be bring by the President elected Barack Obama.

I know there’s something better down the road.
We need to find a place where we are safe.
We walk into that which we cannot yet see.

This line remain the hope, the belief Obama bring us to do so. Moreover the dreams we believe in. We know that there is something better out there, not far from us and we have to challenge for bring it. We need to change the bad things for the better things to come life. We believe there is something out coming because we believe in Barack Obama and we know things will get better because we believe.
