Father William A Man of Grace and Mercy

Inspired by Father William written by Lewis Carroll located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)

A man of great and sweet he portrayed patience to all with sweet reverence to Jesus Christ

Listening with ear of sympathy and most evocative empathy of memories similar he gave his all to help

Humor sparkling in eyes of cherub he allowed intimacy without compromise of self-respect and respect for others

Endowed with wisdom and intellectual ability he devised alternate routes to success for one and many

Experience, time, grace and Mercy of God he prayed to retain all to help others all his life and beyond
