With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

Last Request
Bury me, my love in holy soil Beneath the green grass and cold black earth Upon the hill, above the church that knew me as a child Let me lay beneath the leaves safe from curious conscience

Why on holy soil above the church that knew you as a child? Does that hold some power over your eternity?

Does a church know you not as an adult?
