My Commanders In Chief

Many think this holiday honors all United States presidents we elect But let me reflect It is Washington’s birthday that we celebrate It honors President Washington and President Lincoln as of late Let’s see how they relate Washington was a good ol’ lad He was the best that America had Unanimously elected to commander in chief He gave colonists some hope and belief Posthumously, promoted to a six-star general That will forever remain unattainable Presided over the Constitution writing That must have been rather exciting Unanimously elected as our first president for two terms To which he affirms Relinquishing his power Setting a precedent for every successor Lincoln was a prominent figure During the Civil War Another commander in chief With a strong belief His Emancipation Proclamation To end slavery in our nation He met his untimely demise By a Confederate that did not sympathize Both of these men deserve a day For creating the country we know today Though it is not perfect in any way America is where I want to stay!
