A Giant of a Man

George Washington was a giant of a man,
Over six feet tall he stood,
He was a patient, gentle man,
All of him was good.
He kept his men together
Though they suffered cold and mud.
This tall man walked among them
And warmed their hearts with love.
In pitch darkness and grinding ice
They crossed the Delaware;
And in the snow at Valley Forge
This tall man knelt in prayer.
