Wandering Butterfly Poet Free verse

Rip Heath Ledger

You've portrayed the lives of many
A soldier, a son, a dad, and the enemy

Who I ask, shall portray your life
In a story to reveal your demise

The Big Screen carries your legacy
Your family keeps quite a memory

Her Daddy she can always see
By watching his movies on T.V.

Such a talent you beheld
Quite a story to be a tale

"Why so serious?" as Joker will say
One of the favorite roles you play

Far to young, to go away
May you rest in peace where you lay

A knight in shining armour you'll be
When again your face, your family will see.

for Chriss Matt's contest: Gone too soon***
hope you enjoy...LOVE Miranda Lambert, A.K.A *Randa*

Carolyn Devonshire March 21, 2011 at 9:17 AM Randa, Heath Ledger was such a handsome and talented young actor. He seemed like a good person too. How sad that he died before he had a chance to play more roles and watch his child grow. A wonderful entry for Chris's contest. Wishing you success! Love, Carolyn
