Elijah Cummings

I feel unmoored, sad and shocked ,
For  a Giant  who shone the light ,held it up standing tall
His words gave me hope for this country, and hence the world ,
Now that light  falters , none to hold it,rise so in  stature,
None to fill in , None to loudly call to the light, the  way,
I sigh, feel the weight of a mantle of lost hope ,
The envelope we all feel ,is darkness pressing down,
For the keeper of light is gone to his eternal sleep,
His voice just a memory,  we sigh,hopes to still trudge on ,
On the right path, we  plod on;
These days we need you more...
 Carry your voice within , stay in hope always .
