Good-bye Shirley...this(Curly Top) was the first movie my kids and I saw starring Shirley Temple and we all fell in love with her on the spot!
Over the skyline
Without pause or form
A new breaker surges
In Time’s silent storm
Limping or dancing
Falling, flying free
We are the patrons
Of its melody
Dawning to dawning
Its virgin appeal
Spills from an ocean
Silent and surreal
Brief blue-gray billow
Breath-by-half-breath borne
Morning to evening
To midnight to morn
Until its last ripple
Recedes from earth’s shore
And Time’s tireless tiralee
Is no more
