You have frozen a historical moment with elogent and clearly-stated words. We can hope that the sun keeps shining. Very well done. hope shined like the sun at its zenith promising renaissance to all who would be touched by its rays.

And we have lived to see an Afro-American in the White House. An inspired poem, Robert. Beautifully written. You have my applause. Always your friend, Sandra

A good solid, restrained piece of poetry. The image (for one who is a stranger to the landmarks you reference) is great. The names are image enough. I like the Citizen in the title, as with Alison. it gives that reminder that the US is a democracy and this man can influence that democracy. A great build up and a very spiritual piece of writing as all good poetry should be.
