A President

Man of courage,
You sang amazing grace,
In a church of tragedy,
So full of loss,
You opened your soul,
And your heart,
When hope was fading,
In a troubled time.

You spoke the names of those fallen,
Making them known to a weary world,
Shining a light on their lives,
In the warmth of summer's time,
In the season of falling snow,
Across the mountains and lakes,
To the far oceans of our land.
