An Observation

[Harry J.Dean]

written after November 22, 1963, an observation.

{the thoughts of many}

Mr. President, JFK.

What were our thoughts of you

Before death took you from us today,

We gave our hope, love and admiration too

Mourning now, we of all the world

Know you ask not-but gave all for your country,

Of your strength, through accusation hurled

As you stood undaunted against that enemy

You were the stalwart laborer of a stately nation

As America weeps it shall not forget

The burden, the pain, of your trying station

And your words and deeds remain with us yet.
