Yes We Can
by Barbara GriffithAs I sat and listened to him speak tonight
I thought of what a great gift he was
to America.
For the first time in my life tonight
I thought of the new leader of my country,
and wished it was Barack Obama
...instead of Stephen Harper 11/04/2008 Author's Note: For once I think the Americans have it better...

| Posted by Trisha De Gracia on 11/05/08 at 05:12 PM I'm with you on that one! I'm a more than a little jealous. I just hope he can live up to the very high hopes for him. That election was intense to watch. |
