President Gerald R. Ford
Gerald R. Ford became President
Not by election but by fate.
Disgraced, his predecessor went,
Leaving Ford with a wounded state.
He pardoned Nixon, knowing well,
Was political suicide,
But hoped would stop descent in hell
The nation would have to abide
Through a trial and conviction of
A U.S. President indeed.
Ford gave the nation he did love
A time and place to heal in need.
President Ford and family
Were who the U.S. needed be.
