Imagine if you can
The pride
When you realise
The truth of no doubt
Of having a president
Of real value
A man born with courage
Of mind and soul
To quote Aristotle
In the same breath as
Holding the rapture
Of joy of laughter
Of a nation small
In geographical size
But huge in soul
Michael d Higgins
The man who
Became president
Of Ireland
Whose light shines
In comparison
To the darkness
On the other side
Of the Atlantic
