******** We've rallied and shouted thinking, where did this excitement come from? Met a lot of people that we'll never forget ****** Some we'll see again and others we won't ****** Knocked a lot of doors Got a few unpleasant greetings, learned not to take it personal....oh well, love is a daring thing ****** Got a few doors slammed Was a little scared, quite scared Oh well, I got over it and moved on to the next ****** Got alot of doors opened with rays of sunlight Heard excitement in the name Obama and got even more spirited to go the extra distance and knock on the next door ****** Registered many brand new voters and encouraged 1st time voters to really vote this time ****** Called a lot of possible voters and got a lot of good responses that decided they'd vote for Obama and the Democratic Party ****** Now the election is over our journey and work begins ****** So don't get too tired or too relaxed he's going to need all of our helping hands And remember when we began we journyed to take another challenge to learn what we needed in order to help ourselves, our communities and help Obama too. ****** This is our journey together, unity together and forever ****** This is where you roll up your sleeves and really think about what you want and how to realize it when it comes ****** No question asked can be answered if you choose not to ask it ****** If we can hold Obama accountable then we must not forget to hold ourselves accountable too ****** We went all out, over and beyond to get him elected Now we must go all out, over and beyond to partner with dilligence from this day forward or our journey is on hold and our future is neglected ****** Yes We Can Make A difference! ****** Yes We Can Make Change! ****** **** * *

I enjoy reading your poem,I am glad that Obama won the election.Through the whole world everybody celebrated including streets and all around the globe.It was indeed an historic moment in our history.I was proud to see Obama win as an African-American.Anything is possible in this world if we believe in our selves.I believe that Obama will do a great job,but he can't do it by himself.We as a people need to come together and support him 100% and make changes in our lives.The sky's the limit for us :-0.take care
