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.
