Help on a poem that i have to analyze for an essay please?!?
Maya Angelou's poem "On the Pulse of Morning" ..
It's the poem she wrote for Bill Clinton's inauguration.

I have to write an essay on it but i'm not sure what the message of the poem is. Also, i have to add the poetic elements of the poem in the essay but i'm not very good at analyzing poems.
Can someone please help me?

How will you learn if you don't do it yourself? This is an easy poem, Ms. Angelou isn't hard to understand.

Break it up, and I'm sure you can listen to it somewhere.

Have fun.
