Michelle Obama Tribute
by Susan King Saunders
Michelle Obama
Sasha and Malia’s
momma
First Lady 2008
-2016 is her fate
the fashion queen
brings class to any
thing
whether
Vera Wang
K-Mart
Marshall’s
or Ralph Lauren
Essence
Ellen
People
The View
Vanity Fair
to name a few
Enlightened/
Elegant
and so refined
assertively
she speaks her mind
her smile
lights dark
eyes
diamond sparks
her body
tight
her posture
right
so full of grace
a gorgeous face
there
by her side
a famous man
who won
our votes
with
YES WE CAN
but this is not
a poem about
the president
won’t leave him out
but it’s a poem
about his wife
who he would give
his precious life
to fight
for
the little girl
from Chicago
who followed bro
to Princeton’s
row
then on to
Harvard
Law school
back to
hometown
then
organic foods
her aim to cease
childhood obesity
and to support
military families
this list
can go on
and on
I hope you
sing it
into song
Michelle Obama
Sasha and Malia’s
momma
you don’t see her
in any drama
she’s a true queen
in every way
I pray
I meet her
at the
White House
one day.
