– For Billy Graham on February 21, 2018

Grand and tall and lean and strong
a fervent voice
leading us to follow…
Words, The Message,
shared robustly
with compassion
from podiums
under tents
on paper bound in books…
A heart larger than life itself
beating for the few
the many
the renewed…
Born this day
into Light so bright
embraced by
the arms that lent him
held by
the Spirit that called…
“Hey Billy, give Jesus a hug from me.”
