| Lisa The child had barely tasted life; Had barely sampled mirth Her small joys drowned in seas of strife But she had touched this earth Lifting high the spirits of All people that she knew Giving and inspiring love Across the oceans too One short beam from one bright star Had little time to shine So she was given wisdom far Beyond her years, or mine! She had written, spoken, thought Such memorable things More than most of us are taught Now she has earned her wings Somewhere in a better place Where no ones hurts or dies She is making moonbeams race Across the cloudless skies Although we may feel lonely for The joy of her company She’ll be with us evermore In the gift of her memory God Bless You Lisa. |
| Kovacs We still build on his world these days; still gain from his appeal “We drive the car” through a technical maze where he invented the wheel He taught the camera how to see with magical innovation As he revolutionized TV with his grand imagination The stream of great ideas took wing like sprites from a gold carafe He seemed to think of everything that makes a human laugh No jack-of-all-trades writer, actor, like him comes to mind A wit as sharp or brighter than his would be hard to find And so it is with timeless treasures, they continue giving And no one weighs and no one measures laughter for the living In this sense, he’s still on his journey, touching us on earth What can we say but “Thank you, Ernie” for your legacy of mirth. |
