A Name That Won't Be Mentioned On The Hollywood Walk of Fame

It was the Hollywood Walk of Fame and its 50th Anniversary today
here was where the giants of the Silver Screen walked.
I never have seen the Hollywood Walk of Fame
and until this year I always wanted to.

I longed to be a movie director
it was my dream
but then my dad got cancer and died.

My sister was in the City of Red Deer the night my dad died
negotiating on behalf of the Nurses' Union with hospital management.
That night she drove home not knowing yet my dad had gone
But as she drove she suddenly noticed a traffic crash marker
on that route she had driven many times
it was a Cross someone had put up
and all it said was
At The Name of Jesus, Every Knee Shall Bow.

My sister sort of vaguely believed in God
but she isn't really sure about Jesus.
But seeing that Cross on the night Dad died
She's now starting to wonder.

And I'm starting to wonder too
as I evaluate my life
for I know on that Hollywood Walk of Fame
that Jesus' Name is one Name that won't be mentioned.
