You first appeared in dreams seemingly of my own making.
You first appeared at a dinner, knew nobody can look finer.
You first appeared to me in my own life so fatefully.
First appearance isn't always the one you should go by
The dawn starts to crack
while the shadows disappear,
the sunrise follows.
I'd love to buy a boat and sail the seas
Just loaf and let the string of life unwind
Drop anchor anytime or place I please
To visit every island I can find
I'd sail from cape to cape, from gulf to strait
Each bay and channel up and down each coast
My dog would be companion and first mate
Most likely, he'd be sleeping at his post
But every night we'd find a still lagoon
Perhaps we row ashore and build a fire
On first appearance, I'd harpoon the moon
And hold him hostage until we retired
A life at sea, beneath large wind filled sails
With peaceful friends, the dolphins, gulls and whales

It gave more mileage than it promised
with that first delight;
I could not let it go, for there
implicit in its first appearance
was a cautious pathway
for a newborn light that crept
(though with a stunning flash)
upon my morning reverie with chills
of joy--yet centuries of mystery.
From where did it emerge?
What ragged saint in sagging skins
first saw it, dreamed its origins
within him, first found himself aware
that love alone defined
its gracious gift?
That was the plus that unfolded
in an old man who saw on facebook
his grandaughter-in-law's
photographic greeting to the world
on a Sunday morning!

A person can see me with their own eyes,
but only a few know who's behind the action.
Like a play I have a director and an audience;
my script is the story of one's life.
You discover my first appearance
within the very first moments of birth
You witness my actions from every day forth.
I can be the cause of that dumbfounded silence
or the breathtaking harmony of a choir.
You think of me when the church pews are full,
but forget all about me when isolation occurs.
This doesn't mean I'm gone, but am simply waiting
I'm not a figment of your imagination.
I'm the voice who brings people together
in the most unfortunate of circumstances,
the phenemenom of everyone praying to one name;
the Alpha, Omega, Beginning, and End.
I stop the wars and bring everlasting peace.
You still may not know me, but i will find you.
I'll help you live through another day.
It may not always be sunny, but I promise a rainbow.
If there's a tomorrow for you, look for me.
For I can do many wonders. Just wait and see!
And then you too can believe in me.
“Edward Bear” is this creature’s official name.
However, as “Winnie the Pooh”, he has achieved fame.
He is another great Disney creation.
Winnie is a product of creative animation.
Have you ever seen a cartoon titled “Steamboat Willie”?
That was the first appearance of a mouse named “Mickey”.
He has a cute little lady friend we all call “Minnie”.
They are also products of animations.
Together, they have entertained several generations.
For many more generations, they will stick around.
In Disney animated features they all can be found.

Ah, up again at 4 a.m.
Wasting away by computer light.
Waiting for something extraordinary to happen.
Waiting for my life to begin.
Waiting.
Simply waiting.
Until lights first appearance upon the sky,
When another day awaits me
Instead of me it.
You were born in 1919 in Trenton, New Jersey,
Television would be your medium for comedy.
Your first appearance to the public was in 1950.
This was an early morning show broadcast by NBC
Preceding “The Today Show”, it was called “Three to Get Ready”.
Over the next several years, you would be seen on TV
on many different shows on both NBC and ABC.
From Philadelphia and New York with your wife Edie,
you entertained countless numbers with brilliant comedy.
musical trio of gorillas from Nairobi,
along with many of your different characters would be
appearing on your shows that boosted your popularity.
Poet Percy Dovetonsils was someone we would often see.
With his thick glasses, he would read us some funny poetry.
Many television viewers saw you with a cigar.
With your wife Edie Adams, your career certainly went far.
As well as television, you made several movies.
A car accident was the cause of your fatal injuries.
This happened just before your birthday in 1962.
Since January the thirteenth of that year, we have missed you.
