Australia's lost a legend and we will all remember him.. I was a 'friend' of Heath Ledger's well my family was.. according to Heath he could still remember how much i used to cry whilst my dad was trying to run a cricket team. Thats how we met.. My dad was Heath's cricket coach for over a year.. My dad was drinking mates with Kim (Heath's Dad).. I had the honor of meeting his former fiance and baby Matilda (Mini-Me) Last year.. they were lovely ppl and Matilda a gorgeous girl. I grew close to his sisters and was having lunch on the 21st and talking about Heath's new movie... and how it was going to be the best Ledger film yet.. Well i still think it will be.. So Here's My Poem To Remember Heath and Aussie Icon, Taken Far Too Soon.... Kindly Unspoken Tonight almost 29 years ago A baby took his first breath Destined for nothing but greatness His life turned out to be a success He was named Heathcliff Andrew Ledger A name we all grew to know Back then he was a baby His hair as white as snow Heath wasn’t just an actor But also a friend Who in your time of need Would be there til the end He grew up in Perth Where he succeeded in life He had a daughter And almost a wife His undying passion Was that little girl His reason for living His baby girl I remember meeting Michelle And little Mini-Me Another one of dad’s bbq’s Oh the faces you’d see Back the Ella was alive And Michelle and I compared notes Oh how motherhood was treating us And her passion for coats.. I remember Ella’s funeral Heath couldn’t come But he sent me a card and flowers Told me how he wished he could of come home He wasn’t just a mate But an icon to so many lives He’s movies were only figments On how his character survives Now he’s a memory Of what’s to come and what’s left Australia’s Prince Charming Will now be laid at rest "Kindly unspoken, We Shall Share Our Emotion, because Silence will speak louder than words" |
