Abraham Lincoln Poem by Francis Duggan

Abraham Lincoln



Abraham Lincoln always was a man of honour
The most talked of President of the U.S.A.
And he was one who was for peace and justice
And for everyone he believed in fair play.

Assassinated by John Wilkes Booth one with a mental illness
Only the good die young or so they say
But Lincoln he will always be remembered
And his legend alive and well today.

He paid with his life for the highest office
In fame and success it can be that way
But it's the same for the king and the pauper
And in the way we die we do not have a say.

He was the subject of the poets and painters
And much about the great man has been said
And his fame outlived the bullet that took his life
And at his passing buckets of tears shed.

Like many other greats before and after
His value never realized till he was gone
He was an inspiration to the masses
And his legacy forever will live on.
