Christopher

You took a captain who could make one afraid to smile,

And you made us laugh as he dealt with Maria,

You made us fly when they danced across the floor,

And cry as they fell forever in love.

You took an alien from the pages of Star Trek,

Gave him eloquence and poise beyond expectation,

Then when the battle lines were drawn,

He became the Klingon we would never want to meet.

The one thing you did not give is anticipation,

With your roles being varied and different,

Rising further up with the children’s film “Up”

We were never let down with what we would see.

In later years your heart stayed in your craft,

Giving us a history of films as rich as your life,

Traveling to “Hanover Street” with dear Harrison,

Facing peril for the honor of your wife.

You were with us through all of your days,

You will be with us through our days to come,

For to enter each heart is forever,

And forever is never undone.
