As Utah’s political leaders remember the life and mourn the death of George H.W. Bush, who died late Friday at age 94, Sen. Orrin Hatch shared a poem he’d written to the former president and his wife back in 2013.
The Utah Republican tweeted out a copy of the 11-line poem on Monday, which is handwritten on paper carrying the official United States Senate letterhead and dated January 15, 2013.
“You are resplendent in years / and worth all the tears / as we worry / and hurry / Through each eventful day / in this great land made greater still by God’s firm hand / and your strong will / that searched for the better way / every day,” the poem reads.
