Gone To Soon Contest

Matilda was two when her dad passed away,
from a drug overdose on that fateful day.
Heath Ledger's love child had no certain fate,
Things moved too fast as he lay intestate.
 
What's to become of this child left behind 
Ledger's father a thief or could he be kind?
As the media frenzy continued to soar
Ledgers friend stepped up to settle the score.
  
He gave movie proceeds as a very first step,
"They may deny Matilda but NOT Johnny Depp!"
Jude and Will antied up as sort of a Shrine,
And little Matilda's life is going to be fine!
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Special thanks to Johnny Depp, 
the highest paid movie star in the world, for caring.

I actually got chills reading this tribute to Heath Ledger, Judy. His career had only just begun when he died. Only had a chance to see him in "A Knight's Tale." Such a handsome and talented actor. Thank goodness his daughter will be taken care of thanks to the kindess of her father's friends. Very moving poem. A sure winner in the contest. Love, Carolyn
