ABCNews.com is featuring poems, memories, and well wishes for
Charles Gibson. Here's a poem sent in by Eleanor in Tucson, Ariz.:

| | Charlie, you're the natural choice,
 To be "World News Tonight's" voice,
 But GMA can never replace,
 A man of your enormous grace.
 We'll miss your wit, your charm, your style,
 The void you leave will be a trial.
 You were our rock, our guide, our reason,
 Through joy and turmoil in every season.
 My son was born as you began;
 Three dogs have died, the husband ran :-).
 But always Charlie, there on my screen,
 To inform and delight, a housewife's dream.
 Now rest assured, your fans will follow;
 But in the a.m. there'll be a hollow,
 Where once you joked and teased your co-hosts,
 And rocked the new grandchild you love most.
 From north to south, east to west,
 Charlie, you are: 'Simply the Best!'" |
