Christopher Reeve.
1952-2004.
Actor, film director, producer.
Screenwriter, author and activist.
------------
Under New York skies his first yawn,
the first of two boys he was born.
Parents divorced when Chris was four,
divorce respectful mutual rapport.
Piano lessons aged nine,
disposition benign.
Acting, sports, scholar too,
which one would he pursue?
Acting seemed to be his strength,
this he pursued at length.
The Aviator, Superman,
certainly no also ran.
A licensed pilot he became,
crossed the Atlantic in his plane.
Nothing much he wouldn't try
his career had reached a high.
Riding horses another desire
awful accident did transpire.
From neck down he couldn't move
woefully, he did not improve.
