Re: POTUS & FLOTUS 44*

America's Founding Fathers envisioned freedom
but they never could have imagined today

Harriet Tubman ran the Underground Railroad
but she never could have imagined today

Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves
but he never could have imagined today

Susan B. Anthony promoted women's rights
but she never could have imagined today

Eleanor Roosevelt internationalized human rights
but she never could have imagined today

John F. Kennedy legalized civil rights
but he never could have imagined today

Martin Luther King articulated civil rights
but he never could have imagined today

Somewhere in heaven, a jubilant choir is singing,
"Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

*This poem celebrates Barack and Michelle Obama
as the 44th President of the United States (POTUS)
and First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS).
