I have very few friends since I stood up for you,
because I believe in the things that you do!
I feel the justice you’re determined to bring
And you never exclude, not one living thing!

When I walk through my halls and glance at the walls,
Your photo assures me you’re there,
As you look down and smile like a frolicsome child
I know that you really do care!

You’re my feeling of happiness that comes from within
The first time I heard you …I knew you were friend
You are the very best President America has had
And far more important, you’re such a great dad!

May God keep you safe tucked under his wing
and continue to guide you to do the right thing
Just know that we “feel” your struggles each day
And if you need help,I’ll be right on my way!

This is the differnce I truly see. I believe in your words that it’s time for change, and over time others will feel the same. My mother would have been proud to see you standing there but she passed away before the miricle came.Mr. President you will always have my vote, you and your family are blessed. I’m glad I was here alive to see it, I must profess you are the best, keep up the good work that god lets you do, cause we as a people are gonna be behind you!!!!!!!

Will we battle terrorism, as it should be fought
Or run away and let evil doers chase us to our door?
Will we protect our freedom and system of life
As our fathers and grandfathers sacrificed before?

Will we secure our borders against illegal entry
Or let our economy and security be destroyed?
Will we finally stop runaway wasteful spending
By leaders who are self-serving and void?

Will we continue to pledge our help to the less fortunate
Who suffer from war, hunger and disease?
Will we preserve our heritage and our future
From those who wish to bring liberty to its knees?

Never be afraid to be proud of America
And march with the thankful, honorable and just.
Never surrender our freedom of choice
Standing firm for what we believe and trust.
