Perhaps, no other actor
has touched my heart more
than Jimmy Stewart;
I watched him one night … hurt.
He was a guest on the “Tonight Show”
and read a poem of his dog Bo.
I cried in the end … and too, the day-
he could no longer stay.
Many times I have seen “It’s a Wonderful Life”.
His work was second and first, his wife.
He chose films of great measure:
His wealth exceeds the greatest treasure.
Thank God he was born to act-
A good role model and that’s a fact.
He gave his all—throughout his life
and then, one day, he lost his wife.
He appeared to quit after her death;
In their garden, he took one long breath-
From all those lonesome nights, he wept…
For all the lonely days … he slept…
For all the times he could not eat…
For all the times he felt beat…
The good promise was with him.
I’ll never forget how his eyes grew dim-
and body grew frail, without clipping one toe nail.
In front of him … stood the golden trail-
His life’s mate was waiting for him;
To join in spirit … leave a world so dim.
Yeah, that one day came all too fast: “the end”.
The movies he played in … made my heart mend-
For all one needs to know in life is love:
The kindness he showed before reaching above.
So no matter what’s your situation…
or how bad appears the nation…
Light will radiate behind every door-
Be careful which one you open (in your heart), peace or war.
