A Conversation With Abraham Lincoln

Every man is proud of what he does well;
and no man is proud of what he does not do well.
With the former, his heart is in his work; and he will
do twice as much of it with less fatigue.
The latter performs a little imperfectly,
looks at it in disgust, turns from it, and imagines himself
exceedingly tired.

“Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.” – Abraham Lincoln

Left his mark on the USA
His heart was filled with bravery

But thought up ideas filled with hope
America he chose to represent

Abraham Lincoln, the president, 
Scraggly and tall, cheeks each flaccid dent. 
Laughing, jokes were told of people’s flaws.

Winter Thoughts of Ann Rutledge
by Michael R. Burch

Winter was not easy,
nor would the spring return.
I knew you by your absence,
as men are wont to burn
with strange indwelling fire —
such longings you inspire!

But winter was not easy,
nor would the sun relent
from sculpting virgin

Ode To Abraham Lincoln

Imagine studying by firelight
Mastering lessons till late at night

Trudging through deep Illinois snow
No matter how cold, to school he’d go

Rising up as the best leaders do
To promoting equality, he stayed true

Defeating the incumbent on that date

Running for president to free each slave
Charting even then, the path to his grave

A noble quest for

The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln

It was brief and short sad moment of time
That still flashes and rings in the painful memory of the country
Enjoying and his wife Mary Todd the play 'Our American Cousin'

President Abraham Lincoln

Lately, I have been a-thinkin',
About President Abraham Lincoln,
And about the witty sayings he told,
Quotes for the ages that shall ne'er grow old!

Some I've slightly paraphrased,
And others I've left unscathed.
"No matter how much cats yowl and fight,
There always seem to be plenty of kittens alright!"
