a tribute to
Vivian Francesca Jarvis
Allow me please some bragging rights
Of this I will attest
My mom's a brave, accomplished gal
She's one of the Best
Born to be an actress
A director and a coach
She starred in Joan of Arc
I have the right to boast
She's been in countless films
A career of great yield
She played with Sydney Poitier
In Lilies of the Field
She is a character actress
Won many awards
To hear her tell her tales of stage & screen
One is never bored!
Not only an actress
My mom's an activist
League of Women Voters
There is quite a list!
She stood up for the poor man
And during Vietnam
She directed guerilla theater
And was threatened with a bomb!
Someone threw a rock
With a note attached
Saying a Molotov Cocktail
Would go through our window next!
She's had trials and tribulations
Depression. Migraines long
But she always rose above it
The Show Must Go On!
Now she is still acting!
Though West Nile Virus took its share
Of a once sharp memory
And she's in a power chair!
She starred in Mother Courage
And truly this is she
I am grateful for my mom
and proud as proud can be!**
