Michael d

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
