For This Is The Faith That We Hold : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

The crowds came from every State to welcome change inside the Governments door .

 

 A figure of one with a patient tone talking to a billion or more .

 

Softly and slowly his sculptured words

carved out history on the Whitehouse walls .

 

Its was more than words , it was belief in what his term of office installs .

 

Wise men and clerics placed relics of the past
and Obama spoke of  love .

 

He spoke of hard times ahead and glanced now and then up to heaven above .

 

He spoke of change and the need to harness

 the power of the wind and sun .

 

He echoed words of statues that gather no moss where slavery begun  .

 

He spoke of a future ,

in a strength of character that not many own .

 

When new horizons were achieved by  seeds of faith that today we have sewn .

 

In the hands of labourers both black and white  

are these seeds now being  thrown .

 

This faith we hold is a solid thing and it can never be overthrown .

 Faith it remains as it ever was the corner stone that we build upon .

 

At the corner stone we place our hopes and dreams .

In God we trust

and move on .

 

For this

 is the faith we hold and we respect the rights of

woman and man .

 

The master piece of life

a timeless treasure carved in the palm of Gods hand .
