John F. Kennedy

John F.
Young, strong, brave, and loved
Son of Joseph and Rose, husband to Jackie, father to Caroline and John Jr.
Lover of the United States, his family, and educational values
Who felt passionate, driven, and powerful
Who found happiness in every project he took on
Who needed to be a leader
Who gave everything he had to his country
Who fears a nation that crumbles
Who would have liked to see freedom
Who enjoyed pubic speaking and writing
Who like to wear suits when he was in public
Resident of Brookline, Massachusetts until he moved to the white house
Kennedy
