He was my best friend, Yet he chose someone else for a job that seemed to be made for me. Even when a position on Supreme Court became available, I was not chosen until the third time around.

Despite all this, Lincoln was still my dear, dear friend. I finally ended up with a job of my dreams as a Court justice. Now I look back and remember all this from the grave, Brutally assassinated by the tumor in my shoulder.

By: Brad Saunders I was elected as a judge On the Eighth Circuit Court, no less That was when I met him Abraham Lincoln, at the time, a judge We traveled through multiple counties Sangamon to Woodford, Tazewell to DeWitt Our relationship grew over the years Even though we clashed on certain issues Lincoln decided to run for president But he wasn’t very well known. To help him get nominated I supported him in all his endeavors Helping him receive the nomination I did the same to help him win the election When the time came to select cabinet members I avoided recommending myself, Even though some thought it best. However, when he made his decision, I was left out After all I’d done for him, he left me out Like hanging laundry on the line I was left out in the rain

By: Max Renner Have you ever felt the loss, of someone so dear? Have you ever fallen, ever tripped? ever slipped? ever crashed? Have you ever felt that jarring crash, that smash? that bam? that slam? That slam that brings the feeling of pain, that stabbing, that raging, that overwhelming pain? That overwhelming wave that lashes, that bashes, that thrashes? The thrashing of the soul about, The drowning thrashing loss of a friend, a dear old honest friend.

=** My Friend **=

By Gowtami Rajendran My friend, Abe Lincoln. My best friend. My friend whom I made President. My friend who has forgotten all that I did for him.

It’s sad to think that a man can be so forgotten I once was a man with visions of power and influence. I am a man of great talent and virtue. Yet, now I am a chastened, saddened, and disgusted boss-without-a-client

I waited, and waited, and waited Not for a trophy or a cash prize, But a place alongside my friend, My friend whom I made president.

I was a great judge in Illinois, and highly regarded indeed Abraham Lincoln, what a powerful name A name that would have been lost in history if not for me A name that would scarcely be mentioned if not for me A name that would have never been president Yet my friend, my dear friend, refused to take my advice

Abe Lincoln, my good friend My good friend who I campaigned for tirelessly, My good friend, whom despite all I’ve done for him did not appoint me to the cabinet, Although, after countless years, and immense pressure, I was a appointed to the supreme court.

Yet I was not the first to be appointed to the Supreme Court Nor was I the second I was the third man to be selected by my friend My friend whom I made president.

However, my friend, my best friend Abe Lincoln is gone Although, I am deeply saddened by his actions, his loss saddens me more I will not let his efforts go in vain. My friend, Abe Lincoln, will always be my friend There will be other times to show my political prowess, Yet there will never be another Abraham Lincoln.

Later in life, there will be more turmoil, I will love again, even though my dear Sarah has passed I will get my seat in congress, And donate my land to institutions of learning. I have lived my life and am happy to say the least, I will rest in peace, next to my beloved Sarah, And I will always be in awe of my friend, My dear friend, Abe Lincoln
