As I watch these flurries fall
from blanketed grey sky
and listen to the steady words
that usher softly by
I see the world so bright and new
reflected in these eyes
It’s simply taken on a view
that seems to touch the skies
With yesterday a footprint
on the path that was ahead
Carved out by the courage
of the many who have led
Today is but a paver
for the road is not complete
Yet there is no denying
that this time is bitter sweet
Inside a building built by slaves
a president is free
A moment for the history books
I thought I’d never see.
