There is a train coming for President Jimmy Carter
On his way home to the Kingdom of Heaven
While living, President Carter’s life was always on the move
His heart and generosity to the American people President carter proved
A true Humanitarian
His spoken words being encouragement
Being nourishment for the needy
Faith being his key factor his entire life
I looked to President Carter being like a father
I felt like a son listening to his wisdom he shared
Even though we never met, I did witness him always on the TV
Negativity was never part of him
Four years after, President Carter was running for President again,
and I had taken a Broadcast Journalism course at CUNY Hunter College
My class had the opportunity to be engaged on BILL BOGGS TALK SHOW
In 1980 when President Carter and President Reagan were running for the Presidency on FOX 5
It was a political year that year
Unfortunately, President Reagan won the White House in 1980
President Carter didn’t see it as defeat, but saw it as an opportunity to be
Involved with the people and be involved various social functions
Humble man and upright
He gave all for mankind
Pure genuine
President Carter had a determination spirit
For that he gets 100 percent merit
President Carter was devoted to his wife in love
Romantic and long lasting
Heaven’s open hands welcome
America saddened
Everlasting assurance
President Carter is looking down on all of us saying, “Head Up and Look Up”
He had a purpose and so do we
My hero
Until we meet again.

I think that Jimmy Carter
A true and noble man
Should monitor the voting
Check on ballots being scanned
Watch over our elections
The suppression of our votes
Long lines, few polling places
Jimmy Carter, that’s no joke!
I pray that Jimmy Carter will
Monitor our elections
I trust he’ll keep them honest while
We’re making our selections
When there is no paper trail
And lines 5 hours long
Votings not for weak or frail
Be Jimmy Carter strong!
The man can still build houses
Even though he’s 91
Please watch those ballot boxes
Or Democracy is done!
