His Life He Gave

President Abraham Lincoln
His life for the Union gave
   He hearkened to his conscience
   And dared to free the slaves

And what a daring act that was. I wonder if he realized at the time HOW daring? Or the fact that history would never forget it.

I don't know why, but I have a feeling that Abe felt that he was making history, that he knew the kind of impact his deeds would have.
