The Poem
An extract from the Obama Threads - By Michelle
My name is Michelle and I support Barack Obama for President of the United States of America. I love this poem. I’m not sure who wrote it, although it has been credited to Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama and a Harvard student who wishes to remain anonymous. No matter who is responsible, these are words that we and this campaign should live by.

This is such a fitting poem. Thank you for posting it on the blog, Michelle. And John, thank YOU for all you do for the Obama family. You’re a great asset to this campaign and good friend to all of us.
John and Michelle,
Thanks for that inspirational poem. It was the first bit of reading I’ve done since waking up. What a great way to start my morning!
Thanks for the wonderful poem — it has been a favorite of mine for many years. Hear’s another positive thought for Sen. Obama and the campaign:
“…we should also rejoice in our sufferings for we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, HOPE!” (Romans 5:3-4)
God bless Barack Obama!!
Words of wisdom.
