Author's Notes: The S.T.A.R. for Brian Keith has been workig hard to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for this highly esteemed actor. They have achieved that goal, and are now collecting funds for the fee. Anyone eho has been touched or influenced by Brian Keith's works, and wishing to contribute, please visit that in mind, here is a short poem paying my respects to Brian Keith.
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters, and do not profit from them.
Never Far From Our Hearts
Brian Keith, you have not been forgotten,
Although we've failed to mention,
The deep admiration we have for you.
It's time we finally told you.
-----
You made us laugh, and you made us cry,
And still now not a day goes by,
That you don't touch someone, in some way,
Through a memory, a rerun or a story.
------
Across this planet, we are joined,
By the gifts you left behind.
Though you have gone from our sight,
Your legacy lives on, shining bright.
------
Uncle Bill , who taught three orphans about family and life,
Judge Hardcastle, who stood for justice, and doing what's right,
The Westerner, a lone cowboy, riding tall,
And many more, loved by us all.
-----
Beyond the characters the world saw,
Friend, husband, father, soldier; you were them all.
So much more than just an actor,
You are missed, but never forgotten.
