When it happened, the first person
I thought of was Anthony Freeman,
a nine-year old fourth grader at my school.
Maybe he will relax into his strong intellect now,
maybe he will stop fighting
--already at this age--to prove himself.
Maybe, he'll know, the way I have always known,
that he can and he will do anything.
The world recognizes this leader,
our country has finally lived into its tenet of all men,
and, across this land, children are waking up
with a new strain of bold hope in them,
thinking 'yes I can.' Yes, I can.
