Never to Look Back
Never to look back, Dear Lillian? It is neither just nor
right!
Look back into your yesterday so wondrous and so bright!
To do again, in fancy, the things you have done.
To Feel again the warmth of the glory you have won!
Remember the Joy of being worthy, of all homage paid to you.
Look back into yesterday, fair lady, it is the thing to do!
The happiness you earned, in the days now gone by,
Is part of the sunshine, you see today in the sky!
The happiness in your life today is perhaps a generous share
–
Your yesterdays decreed, that today it would be there!
It was your yesterdays, that gave you happiness, worth
clinging to today.
'Tis well to face back to yesterday – from the past shy not
away!
Yesterday gave you a lifelong friend and a friendship fine
to share –
Look back into the past and to the treasures gathered there!
When I look back I am always sure to see
Faith and love and courage and deep humility!
Mrs. Cecil Mc
Courage to try new mediums as times changed. Courage to share her knowledge of cinema history, and her dedication to her art, lifelong learning and passion for life with me. Always boldly going ahead. I loved her passion as often expressed in two words: "What's next?"
Happy birthday Lillian Gish!
You brought so much happiness through just being yourself.
