Abraham Lincoln was the very one.
In the year of 1861.
While at war word had come.
"A soldier in blue slept through his watch.
And unless forgiven would soon be shot!"
Nonsense! He said. I know this lad.
To kill this boy would be most sad.
I'm sure he fought from dawn to dusk.
The sleep he took God knew he must.
Forgiveness granted! Go stop this act.
There has been enough death! His honor's intact.
Lincoln's compassion was his forte.
He Saved our Nation and freed all the slaves..
On February 12th let's say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
