Each of us has many roles,

Wearing many hats per day,

One is a mother and a daughter,

A wife and again,

Another is a father and a son,

A husband and a friend. 

He was an actor and a husband,

Giving us characters to feel,

He was a father and a friend,

Being himself in each performance,

Making portrayals truly great,

On the stage and on the reel.

He had found the thing he loved,

Being a part of many lives,

Through his pain and his trials,

Finding healing in the giving,

He found meaning in the living,

To share with his soulmate and wife.

Later in his long life,

He found God in his heart,

Finding the truest role in eternity,

The source of love through infinity,

Keeping him young through the years,

True joy with a brand new start.

His light on Earth was for a time,

Yet his soul shines true and bright,

Through every heart he ever touched,

With every smile he ever gave,

Glowing in the heart of his soulmate,

Keeping her warm through the night.
