by Cristel Hastings
An incident in Lincoln's life?
I liked the one of steps he took--
Weary, patient, plodding steps,
for the sake of one lone books.
Lincoln knew that books could be
Ships to take him where he willed--
A fount of knowledge in his thirst
To read and learn. His young mind filled
With ambition's eagerness,
Long he read into the night,
Slowly and laboriously,
By a fitful firelight.
