Sure do hope I'm allowed to post this here. It's my ode to a very wonderful and talented actor who will be sorely missed as much as he was loved. It's not my best because I don't do things like this normally. I just felt compelled to do this one to show how I feel.
This is dedicated to : Mr. Heath Ledger
(1979-2008)
You May Be Gone, But You Can Never Be Forgotten.
With hair of golden blond,
And eyes of deepest brown,
He soared as an eagle and never touched the ground.
His laughter was light and a blessing to hear,
His silences were deep and almost hard to bear.
He brought joy to many a life
He showed us a vision and things for which to strive.
He’ll sorely be missed,
Of that I’m very sure.
Though he was only human
His soul was whitely pure.
He was a hell of an actor,
Of that you can be sure.
Was loved by many
And hated by few.
His characters he brought to life
And rarely lowered his head in stife.
He was fire so clean and bright and pure
He was a one of a kind
He’d only been drenched in water one time
But only by a friend of the truest kind
A jokester to all, Jake was one for sure.
Matilda is a beautiful elf
He loved her more than life itself.
To leave her a t an age so young
Is something that can never be undone.
He will be back our way someday
It’s something for which we must hope and pray.
He touched our lives so very deep
And gave us secrets we swore to keep.
We will miss you deeply, Heath Ledger
For you’ve shown us that life can always be better.
