Tribute to Roger Ebert Film Critic
Roger Ebert was a consumate wrter and movie critic.
Internationally and in Chicago, where we met after
the Chicago Riots.
Each New years Eve, all his friends and to his famed,
New Years Eve Party….
He went out of his way to see we all were treated
more than well in I learned from Roger, that people’s
hearts came first.
What a terrific listener! I never thought he’d die!!
He worked until his last day on earth.
Roger was a Master at limericks, too.
A better friend, I never had.!
Missing you,
Pangie
Tribute to Roger Ebert
It is on this joyous New Year’s Eve,
When I feel your soft essence is gone.
Hunble of spirit, kind, you, the famed
Pulitzer Prize, oh, how you duly won!
The smiling, winter, icy stars, reflect
On your name with joy and pride!
Your name, right here, in California,
On the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Oh, few will never hear of your great
Generosity and bountiful tenderness.
Or the grievances we have the Chicago,
That we fought with the city to redress!
I shan’t forget our close friends, too.
Gathering then to celebrate this midnight.
Roger, my soul recalls how you so
Bravely fought for your precious life.
I know you cannot hear me any longer.
The poignancy of all I learned from you,
Etched on my soul,left me forever, stronger!
