A Portrait of Abraham, By Larry Mansour
This poem was written by a good friend in Lincoln, Larry
Mansour of Staton Island, NY.
Larry’s heartfelt poem is the best summation of Lincoln’s
life I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

A Portrait of Abraham
By Larry Mansour
Copyright 2000
He was someone who was, by all indications,
An unlikely prospect for greatness.
Humble and poor. Modest and unassuming.
He was someone who was, by nature,
Just a simple man.
But he was more than merely ordinary.
He was common, but, he was extraordinary.
Noble and trustworthy. Pure and unadulterated.
He was in our midst, but, not in our sight,
A luminous being of heavenly light.
He was a towering giant of gentleness.
An indiscriminate fountain of human kindness.
He was an embodiment of our conscience.
A living testimonial to integrity and dignity.
Like an ocean of love running deep, and overflowing.
Or a brightly burning distant star afar, but ever glowing.
He was a man of unfathomable depths.
One of great moral strength and fibre.
He was a man of indomitable character.
One of unshakable courage.
In compliance with the ways not of the world
But inspired by and guided from above
By an infinite wisdom, an encompassing love,
He was not unlike the spirit of a miracle or an angel.
Heavens hope for man. In the eye of a storm, a steady hand.
In the hour of darkness, a guiding light.
In a tempest of turmoil, a sea of tranquility.
A gift to us from God he was. An answer to a prayer.
He lived and he cried and he died for us.
But he was a man forsaken. A soul in despair.
