Sara Russell writes a poem about Matthew

An Encounter With Mr. M.
Sara L. Russell 11/07/07

Some things seem out of reach as cloudless skies,
Yet some are not so distant as they seem.
Here comes the man with smoky-azure eyes
To touch a life and spin another dream.

He stepped out of the television screen
To saunter up and greet us with a smile,
And suddenly the London streets seemed clean
And pigeons danced in Busby Berkley style.

Tongue-tied, we went up for an autograph
To hear the velvet voice we all adore,
All spellbound to perceive a smile or laugh;
Every encounter begs one more encore.

Though casually-attired, he seemed to me
As princely as the squire of Pemberley.
