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"
