In Loving Memory

From day one he helped us
be the best that we could be
not only in the theater
but for as far as we could see
he gave us many lessons
though we should have some confessions
that he wasn't fully perfect-
you should hear that with some glee
if he had been without mistake
a pedestal for him we would make
but he was close in heart and mind
not too far up or us behind
every step of the way with us was he
we will remember him with honors
and even more in loving memory.

This poem is dedicated to my late drama director Edward T. O'Malley with much love and respect.
