A little lullaby in memory of the late great Sam McCready - actor, writer, director, and one of the founders of Belfast's Lyric Theatre.

lyrics

A Curtain Call
(i.m. Sam McCready)

Ladies and gentlemen,
let’s hear it for the silence:
everything’s been said.
These are the roles
we were born to play -
we never wanted it to end.

My one true love,
and the audience of my best self -
there are no lines left to learn.
We are such stuff
as dreams are made on,
and to dreams we return.

I wish we were
still arm in arm,
walking down Ridgeway Street.
Foundation stones and old cracks
in familiar pavements:
The Holy Ground beneath our feet.
