Freely chosen by the millions,
a man with African DNA
has moved his family to
America's home -
wrought not so long ago
by the arms and backs
of scores of human chattel
With sturdy hope and healing hearts.
we now entrust our nation's wheel
to the guiding hands of a quiet man.
who in his vision dares
to unify the heavens with the soil.
January 20,2009
