For César González

from

Betty Jo Tucker

Your poetry and elegance

and love of words always made sense.

A scholar and a gentleman.

So easy to become your fan.

Helper, teacher and leader too.

One of God’s most chosen few.

Missing you hurts deep inside.

A sorrow we can never hide.

But rest in peace, dear César G.

Your reward now – Eternity.
