Ode to Julie Andrews

by Betty Jo Tucker — Read all 96 poems by Betty Jo Tucker


After watching Julie Andrews receive the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award on TCM, I was motivated to write the poem below.

Ode to Julie Andrews

 

Her lovely voice raised to the sky

 in “Sound of Music” and that’s why

we all then knew what she could do.

 Fans took to her like Elmer’s glue.

 

In “Mary Poppins” she was great.

Motion pictures became her fate.

And besides singing, she could dance.

How about acting? She took the chance.

 

Now we love her and her career.

    A treasure she is – one so dear!

Julie Andrews has been poetry in motion all her life. You have captured in words one of our best treasures who was meant for the big screen.

Julie was a beauty who sang like an angel without any effort. She retrained that beauty as she aged and continued to sing. She probably was a better singer than Maria von Trapp. Always remembered for that majestic opening of the movie with her singing her lungs out on the mountaintop.

Had to laugh at that reference to Elmer's glue. ;-)

She is a treasure, indeed, with a voice given by God.
