Goodbye to Mr. President, most sorely you’ll be missed
Although no term is perfect, your’s has been exemplary
Accomplishments that you’ve achieved would fill a lengthy list
Although there will be setbacks, temporary, hopefully
Oft times it takes the loss of something or the threat of loss
For citizens to contemplate how much there was at stake
Its absence leaves a hole one can’t replace at any cost
Barak’s endangered legacy they now appreciate
Your message, Mr. President, when you bade us farewell
That in this Country you believe; we’re going to be okay
The next four years may be quite rough, which only time can tell
But we’ll recall all you have done and what you said that day
