Today, Canada lost; a great human being
Someone with pure passion, with poetic nature
That could captivate crowd with red and white venture
Elevating topics to the forefront freeing

If you’re reading this text, go Google Gord Downie
Imagine influence on receptive nation
Not just through the bands play, but through other station
From coast to coast to coast, country boy to townie

If even just one search highlights an opening
To scratch the inner soul of my fellow poets
Of our Canadian kid with a bandstand focus

As we set the timing of his life’s own shining
Remember the Courage as you Blow as High Dow
To face your own challenge with humility flow
