Donald at the Bat – Day 681, George Herbert Walker Bush (1924-2018)

George Herbert Walker Bush (1924-2018)

 

Today, George Herbert Walker Bush is dead.

A man whose family called him, “Forty One.”

He was a warrior who died in his bed.

In his tenth decade, now his race is run.

 

He was a tall man, born to wealth and grace,

At eighteen, volunteered to serve in war.

For him, a chance to serve was commonplace.

And he found life had many more in store.

 

The Congress, CIA, and President,

A namesake son who served as, “Forty Three.”

Throughout his life his grace was evident.

We never saw a trace of trumpery.

 

George Herbert Walker Bush has passed away,

A “point of light” to join the Milky Way.
