In memory of Sidney PoitierA
-
-
Have you seen that Black Star streaking across the skyB
-
So brightly shining up highB
-
Burning up the night air sky fallingC
-
Finally hitting its mark in that right spot and timeD
-
That gives me pleasure to write this rhymeD
-
-
-
Giving me pleasure to remember such a Black StarE
-
Yes that one who came so farE
-
But so near to our hearts until we can feel what he feelsF
-
In every story of every character that seems so realG
-
Yes that Black StarE
-
-
-
His name means wide meadow like those in foreign landsH
-
So broad with many miles flush and green and grandI
-
And who would know that this Black Star would come a long wayJ
-
To conquer a dream to be who he was to us todayJ
-
Yes that Black StarE
-
-
-
We remember that Black StarE
-
That once streaked across the sky from so farE
-
To capture our hearts on the silver screen and of lifeK
-
Yes it was that Black StarE
