A
great mind and master of the English language has died
The
rampage of cancer his body and modern medicine could not deny
Charles
Krauthammer, a man paralyzed from a dive
Never
quit as he made the English language
come alive
Completed
medical school unable to stand on his feet
Never
let being confined to a wheel chair bring him to defeat
His
essays were icons of clear and probing thought
His
opinions his readers eagerly sought
A
brave courageous fight to the end to his death accept
His
mark on journalism none of us will soon forget
God
is waiting for you as wordsmith and analyst in chief
May
you rest in peace and may your soul find tranquil relief
