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 AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on February 8, 2020 for contest STRAND SELECT G sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - HONORABLE MENTION Originally posted on January 28, 2020

Thanks, Julie. It's actually about someone who passed some 20 years ago. Never forgotten.
