 F.D.R.

Franklin D. Roosevelt did be

The only U.S. President

Elected to four terms was he

Through which hard times the U.S. went.

Great Depression then World War II,

Fear and suffering 'cross the land.

F.D.R. was a leader true,

Keeping hope under his command.

Through it all as his health declined

Most of the public did not know.

At last, to a wheelchair confined,

He still inspired by radio.

On Mount Rushmore the next to place,

President F.D.R.'s stone face!
