“Abraham Fierce unyielding brave tall Son of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, husband of Mary Lincoln Lover of freedom, tall hats, and good speeches Who felt patriotism for his country and who felt grief at a divided nation Who feared what would become of a divided country, feared the south would win, feared the costs of war Who issued the Emancipation Proclamation and who won the Civil War Who wanted to see the nation whole again Born in Kentucky, died at Ford’s Theater in Washington, DC Lincoln"
