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'
