In the Year of Our Lord 1908, <br />A Gracious soul was born, <br />He like All, began small. Unlike the many, he grew, <br />He grew in another way, <br />Not only achieving, But returning. Taken of Human belief, <br />Relating to the elements of life, <br />He dedicated to others on screen. Many dream, many try, <br />Some care, others only stare, <br />However he dared, and cared. From actor, to Soldier in WW II, <br />He carried the torch of Americanism, <br />Rest Peacefully, Our Gentle Giant.<br /><br />James E. Toal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/james-stewart/
