A Poem For Gary Cooper

What a handsome actor you are,
You have very beautiful eyes.

Your  slim good-looking stature,
The many roles you caressed with excellence.

The leading women that were blessed to act with you,
I wished to be an actress at one time.

Happily married with children,
How nice to see you act on screen.

And to become one of the great performers of the century,
I would wish to be the Marlene Dietrich of your life.

Just discovered you one day,
The magic of acting exists.

God blesses us with good role models,
I wish I could stand in line for your autograph and shake your strong hands.

I like you in your cowboy suit and hat,
May God bless you and yours.
