The Screening
While many came to be entertained,
You saw a different view;
As a youth you stood behind the scenes,
And played the reels all the way through.

Your time on earth told a story,
And not just one or two;
You dedicated your entire life to stories,
As so rarely people do!

A father, grandfather and so much more,
You leave a lineage;
A story of dedication for the arts,
You entertained the stage.

And so from heaven your view is the same,
Your behind the scenes again;
Watching the stories play out below,
Until they can hug you again.
