Born in the winter of 73
Third down the line in the family
A young man carrying an old book, written in Greek
Made friends without making enemies
He gave a long speech in the cold rain
He rode a white horse in the parade
Everyone got a handshake
For thirty one days
He lived a long life, had a good wife, had kids of his own
Nine that lived to be full grown
He carried the banner, he was born to lead
Led his army to a victory
A general and a fighter
A gentleman and a father
He fell when he couldn’t go higher
After thirty one days
He was just getting started
When he joined the dearly departed
It seems that history forgot him
After thirty one days
Spoke his last words with his last breath
A sense of satisfaction right before
He passed away
After thirty one days
His grandson got the same job
William Henry would have been proud
But he never found out,
After thirty one days
The last words of a man who fought in three wars:
“I ask for nothing more” – William Henry Harrison, April 4, 1841
