Goodbye Gary

When I heard about your terrible accident, I began to pray.
Buy my prayers were ineffective because you passed away.
People enjoyed the entertainment that you brought.
You had talent and many fans who liked you a lot.
I myself was a very big fan.
You were a very good man.
When you got injured, it was bad but dying was far worse.
Sadly, the cast of Different Strokes seems to be cursed.
You made millions of people laugh on Different Strokes.
You helped to make that show a hit and that is no joke.
Your talent and charisma were off the chart.
You're dead but you'll always be in our hearts.

(DEDICATED TO GARY COLEMAN WHO DIED MAY 28, 2010.)
