A Man with dreams for reaching
His views were simple, bold and true,
His tasks were in their teaching
Pierre Trudeau, a Man For All,
No mind what Party loyal,
The Love he had for Canada
Surpassed banal division.
A man of wisdom, strong of heart
His change met opposition
But all the while he knew the way
And led us with his heart.
Strong leadership and Love gave he
Without a care for status
He wanted Equal Terms for All
And strove All Ways to get it
Elder Statesman, now you've gone,
I grieve to see your passing,
We may not ever see again
A Man of your compassion.
Pierre, we bid thee sad Adieu,
And hope that on your journey
You may again speak words so wise,
And travel ever safely.
Bonne Journee, Pierre ... Pax Dominus
