Pillar of Flame

Cradling a nation
With warm love

Brightly guiding
Our pursuit of dreams

Comforting our sorrows
Celebrating our victories

Cradling a nation

                   with

                       warm

                             love

Thank you James, for writing this tribute. I was surprised that I hadn't seen more words in his honor. Through his face and his voice, we were told such significant historical moments, tragic events, with such dignity and compassion,....his telling seemed to soften the blow of horrible news. It was like having a grandfather break the news ...as honest and as gently as possible. Nice poem, James...
