And Along Came John F Kennedy
I grew up in a beautiful country that
upheld its constitutional rules of justice,
and this generation fought for peace
to give all something to dream about;
then come along extraordinary men
whose words made them strong again!
And along came John F. Kennedy, the patriotic man,
who charmed all with looks and speech
to excite the American spirit so weak;
we listened to him, nothing was a gimmick,
what came out of his mouth was pure truth:
he lifted everybody up, but short was his lifespan!
The sad and tragic news of his death came to fret:
we grieved, we cried with his wife and children...
feeling great empathy and condemned the evil act
of a killer whose hand was quick to kill and run!
And along came John F. Kennedy to rekindle the waning fire
in the deepest hearts of Americans, he made them proud;
how sad and alone Jacqueline felt without him by her side:
she grieved him and missed his presence until she died!
