He sought out the lowly, was sought by the wise,
Choosing not to be a leader, he was followed by all.
He was slow to speak, much quicker still to listen,
A humble man, admired by those both great and small.
Short of stature, but exceedingly tall in grace,
A gentle soul, radiating God's mercy from within.
A thumb-worn Bible, a sudden new-found truth,
God's mystery held simple, his answer for all men.
(And he placed his hand on many a shoulder
and said, "I understand.")
