A poem about Oliver McGowan
He came to us, a spark of grace, A light that time could not erase. With laughter bright and spirit true, He changed the world in all he’d do.
Each day he taught us how to care, To see the soul, to simply share. Through challenge, courage, joy, and pain, His heart lit hope that will remain.
Though heaven called him far too soon, He left the sun, the stars, the moon. In every law, in every stand, His love still guides the hearts of man.
For Ollie’s name is more than song, It’s change, it’s right, it’s where we belong. A legacy that lights the way
His spirit lives in us today
