That Fateful Day
TODAY THE WORLD HAS WITNESSED
A MOST TRAGIC INCIDENT;
THE GRAVE ASSASSINATION
OF OUR STATELY PRESIDENT.
IT WAS A SHOCK THAT STUNNED THE WORLD
AND WE WITNESSED EVERY SCENE.
FOR, THROUGH THE WONDER OF TV,
IT WAS SHOWN ON EVERY SCREEN.
THE WORLD WILL MOURN THIS TRAGIC DEATH
FOR QUITE SOME TIME I FEAR,
BECAUSE THIS MAN BROUGHT SO MUCH GOOD
TO MANKIND, FAR AND NEAR.
THROUGH HIS INTELLIGENCE AND GOOD SENSE,
ALTHOUGH HIS TERM WAS SHORT,
HE HELPED RENEW THE WORLD TO PEACE,
FOR WHICH ALL MEN HAVE FOUGHT.
HIS DIPLOMATIC WORDS AND SMILE
HAVE ENRICHED OUR PRECIOUS LAND.
HE WILL BE LONG REMEMBERED
AS A GREAT AND PEACEFUL MAN.
THE WORLD WILL NE’ER FORGET THIS MAN
THOUGH HIS SOUL FROM US DEPARTS,
FOR JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY
LIVES ON WITHIN OUR HEARTS.
