RIMA AND ALAN: A LOVE STORY
HE WAS NOT YET 20,
AND, SHE WAS JUST 18.
BUT THE LOVE THAT LAY AHEAD OF THEM,
THEY COULD NEVER HAVE FORESEEN.
YES, THERE WERE ROWS AND SQUABBLES,
AND TEARS WOULD SOMETIMES FLOW.
THE STONES, THE RUTS THE COBBLES,
WERE SOMETIMES ALL THEY'D KNOW.
ART WAS HIS AMBITION,
HE TRIED, BUT FATE SAID, "NO."
"I HAVE A DIFFERENT PLAN FOR YOU,
AND, YOUR PROGRESS MIGHT SEEM SLOW."
HE STRUGGLED DOWN HIS PATHWAY,
HIS SOUL MATE AT HIS SIDE.
HAND IN HAND TOGETHER,
THEY LOVED, THEY LAUGHED, THEY CRIED.
IN TIME, THE HAND OF FATE RETURNED,
AND, PLACED HIM ON THE STAGE.
HE FOUND THAT IN THE SPOTLIGHT,
FATE FINALLY TURNED THE PAGE.
THE ART HE'D BEEN PURSUING,
THOUGH NOT HIS PLAN OF CHOICE.
LAY NOT IN PAINT AND BRUSHES.
BUT IN HIS WONDEROUS VOICE.
THE VOICE THAT SHOWERED WORDS OF LOVE,
ON THE WOMAN HE HELD DEAR.
NOW ALSO FILLED THE THEATERS,
FOR ALL THE WORLD TO HEAR.
THE FILM CAREER THAT FOLLOWED,
SUCCESSFUL AS IT WAS.
WOULD NEVER SOIL HIS LOVE FOR HER,
AS FAME SO OFTEN DOES.
HE SOMETIMES PLAYED A VILLIAN,
BUT, RIMA KNEW THE TRUTH.
HE'D ALWAYS BE THE BOY SHE LOVED,
WHEN HE WAS STILL A YOUTH.
AND, AS THE YEARS WENT TUMBLING BY,
HE REAPED EACH NEW REWARD.
HE SHARED WITH HER EACH KUDO,
EACH TRIUMPH, EACH AWARD.
YOU'D ALWAYS FIND HER ON HIS ARM,
BOTH SMILING FOR THE THRONG.
THEY KNEW THEY HAD EACH OTHER,
SO NOTHING COULD GO WRONG.
FATE CAST HIM AS A WIZARD,
AND OPENED A NEW DOOR.
TO THOUSANDS OF ADMIRERS,
HE HADN'T REACHED BEFORE.
AS FAMOUS AS A ROCK STAR,
IN THE TRAGIC HERO ROLE,
WHOSE VOICE COULD CUT LIKE DAGGERS,
BUT WHO HID A WEEPING SOUL.
THE LOVERS BOTH WERE JOYFUL,
EVEN CHILDREN CHEERED HIS FAME.
BUT A DREADFUL SPECTER REARED ITS HEAD.
AND, CANCER WAS ITS NAME.
BUT, THOUGH HE FOUGHT THE NOBLE FIGHT
WITH RIMA AT HIS SIDE.
THE DULCET VOICE WAS SILENCED.
THE TRAGIC WIZARD DIED.
HIS COLLEGUES AND ADMIERERS,
SO SHOCKED THAT HE WAS GONE.
SENT TRIBUTES AND LEFT LILLIES,
JUST TO HELP THEM CARRY ON.
BUT, NO ONE COULD IMAGINE
THE HEARTBREAK, PAIN AND TEARS.
THAT WRACKED THE WOMAN WHOM HE LOVED
FOR OVER 50 YEARS.
SO NOW, HER GUESTS DEPARTED,
SHE TURNS AND LOCKS THE DOOR.
THEN WALKS INTO THE BEDROOM,
THAT THEY SHARED FOR YEARS BEFORE.
THERE'S AN OLD FAMILIAR FRAGRANCE,
IT'S WAFTING THROUGH THE AIR.
AS IF HE'S STANDING NEAR HER.
YES, SHE COULD FEEL HIM THERE.
"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME."
SHE SOBBED WITH TREMBLING VOICE.
THE ANSWER FOLLOWED QUICKLY:
"MY LOVE, I HAD NO CHOICE."
SHE FELT HIS ARMS SLIP ROUND HER,
SHE CLOSED HER WEARY EYES.
"I KNOW IT'S HARD," HIS SOFT VOICE SAID,
"WHEN THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU DIES."
"BUT WILL I KNOW YOU'RE NEAR," SHE ASKED
"THROUGH ALL THESE ENDLESS DAYS?"
AGAIN, IT CAME, HIS BELOVED VOICE.
A SINGLE WORD..."ALWAYS."
