My dearly departed, and you living,
Who stand with me here still shiv'ring
On ground dedicated
By blood consecrated
In service to freedom delivering.
Though we wanted to fight without gore
We failed and fought a long war
Now the slaves are all free
And by God may it be
That we'll heal without suf'ring more
Let their unfinished work now sink in
And a new birth of freedom let's seek in
This simple motion
And increased devotion,
To this work of theirs,
Signed, Lincoln

My collection of sometimes decent writing
Which I've left "there" for seekers to seek
Though I lack the grandeur of that Pirate King
Perhaps these pebbles can be a light
In this life, this laughing tale
