Russell Sivey Poet Verse

President Lincoln

Great leader
Defender
Death to enemy
Can see victory
Young country
Still in its dire infancy
Fighting brother and brother
Commander
Chief looks for exit
Finds none, war will start
War is hell
Casualties

What makes this really odd, is my wife lineage traces back to John Wilkes Booth! Guess I better watch my back at bedtime! These are Facts/ Nice tribute to a great man!

Andrea Dietrich August 25, 2011 at 2:08 AM I LOVE Lincoln. He truly was, as you wrote here, a great leader.

Judy Ball August 25, 2011 at 1:02 AM Nice job Russ. And amid all that he dealt ith the death of one of his sons and his wife's subsequent nervous breakdown due to her grief. No wonder he always looked so sad. God Bless, JB
