Dear Abe
Dear Abe,
The unifier, the Great Emancipator, how did you do it sir?
Our nation split apart tearing at the seams and you brought it all back together
I don’t know how you could have mended that
Sometimes it feels like I can’t mend my own life
High School, Relationships, College, and general strife
But you brought a broken nation back together, freed the slaves, reconstruction, your praise is sung wherever
Free men live and wherever men yearn to be free
It may have been 7 score and thirteen years but you will always be
My hero, the hero of all people
Your words ring out like those at a church steeple
And you inspire me Mr. Lincoln, you really do
Because if you could bring a nation together then maybe I can too
Maybe one day I can move past my strife and pain
Maybe someday your words will reign
Supreme, above all the hate
And even if I still have time to wait
I’ll never forget you, and what you did
If you could bring 31 million together I can fix the life of just one kid
Then when my life is fixed I can help others
I can spread your message with all my sisters and brothers
We’ll never forget, all those you freed
Hey Abe, this is from my heart for you from me
I’ll remember your words, and I’ll never stop thinking
We can all make the world a better place, if we act like Abe Lincoln
Sincerely, Paul
