In Memory of the author and playwright

Young lady Emily you see your Mom
had wished to revisit family and some
was advised that you look forward and not back
ones on stage haven't developed the knack...
to see the larger picture from whence they came
to enjoy precious moments even ones in shame
to see only what they'd like
to be at sea
without grasping the now
they have at shore
delight in their dance steps
on planked floors then windswept
you could be taken back in time to see
but then learned that it is better for your soul
to be set free
learn that this thing called life
is only a finite envelop
from which the spirit then develops..

I love these Martin because they make me think...
but I hesitate to answer as I'm usually way off base...
so may I whisper this name in your ear?  
Bend down here please...
Thornton Wilder?

Yes it is Nancy, unfortunately we here about these playwrights now and then..thoer plays are timeless, I must have heard about his passing when I was doing my undergraduate mid seventies time then I think I heard of his plays.
