My Hero

I have learned much from a giant of a man that I have never met Chances of meeting him are not great; he recently turned 98. He is admired, and like a star to me, he's a hero among heroes His humility is remarkable, and it only enriches and grows I once stood in his proximity, and beheld the serenity of his person I have observed his endeavors, and I am moved by his devotion He graciously employs simplicity He’s the implementation of integrity He portrays a singleness of purpose He teaches me the meaning of 'focus' 01072017 cj PS Contest, My Hero, Shadow Hamilton (Billy Graham, My Hero)
