Line Gauthier Poet Elegy

Tall and Humble

Larger than life
Wielding power
Like a club
Standing for justice
He towered strong
And righteous
Protecting the meek
And oppressed
A gentle soul
Knowing when
Like a lion
To growl
There at the pearly gates
Humble but standing
Tall and forthright
Ready to meet His Maker
