Mother
If you were here
You'd see this day
You'd cry with me
The world is changing before my very eyes
My emotions are changing it seems
You always called when the world reared a surprise
And, today you'd not believe your eyes
Well suffice it to say before I go to bed
I had to let you know what's going on
Are you ready to hear this Mother?
Barack Obama is just 14 hours away
from being America's First Black President
Can you believe this Mother?
I couldn't go to bed without telling you the news
Let the other Angels in heaven know what
I said. I hope you can hear me
You left in 1993 I have
never written or called your name
But, this is important mother
I wish you were here to see
What tomorrow is going to bring
It is my duty to share this with you
Rest in peace...Just letting you know
I love you Mother. I will tell Barack Obama
That you are proud!

What a touching work.
I lost my Mom in 2008,and I too wanted to share the history making news of Obama's becoming president.
Continued success

Yes. What sensational news it is, history in the making, a monumental event which will bring great things for all! A beautiful poem written by an absolute gem.
Kudos to you Carol, your friend in a far away land, Stuart
