Inauguration of Hope
America Waits
Waiting,
A breath held for fear of exhalation,
Perchance to dare,
to hope again.
Frozen,
The paralysis of fear begets timid inaction.
Breathe!
Move!

Congratulations, President Obama.
You have shown us the audacity of hope, now show us its tenacity. Be that beacon of honesty and wise leadership, which we so desperately need to see shining at the head of our nation.
Above all, always remember, your greatest strength lies in your ability to inspire others to action, goodness, and greatness. Never let us forget that change for the good of all begins with the individual – that each one of us can find a way to make a positive difference in the lives of those around us.
