George Washington

George Washington is founder of our nation

He was born in time so early in our country

His story starts as a young man with ambitions

He was handsome tall man with grate ideals

He loved chivalry, horses and swordsmanship

He came from a family of English ancestry 

who lived in Virginia for many generations

His family was fine but not of riches and fortune 

He lived time when the British ruled the land

His first task in his life that brought him fame

was arduous trip to deliver message to the French

To leave and evacuate the large Ohio territory

The French defiantly and stubbornly reused

Defeating George Washington in some battle

George Washington learned from mistakes

After many numerous battles of win and defeat

George Washington returned to Virginia 

He owned huge estate in Mount Vernon

He through his wife owned many slaves

He was much occupied running this huge fortune

He watched in the mean time what is happening

Great resentment of the British was building

No taxation without presentation was battle cry

After the Boston massacre and calls for actions

It was all obvious military campaign was a must

George Washington was chosen to be the commander

of newly formed all volunteer Continental army 

He showed great perseverance and leadership

When finally he won and the British rule ended

There was a new country called the United states

All different factions agreed he will be the president
