A PLATFORM STAGE REMEMBERS MY MEMORIAL FOR ED CORNEY

A Poem by anthony blake

BODYBUILDING LEGEND

One man who stood among giants

Short in status

Mighty in endurance

It was the spotlight in posing

The man’s name was Ed Corney

Mr. Corney was a Master Poser

Amazement and determination throughout

Dazzle in muscle as they entertained

Ed Corney is a name that just remain

It all relates to the sport of Bodybuilding

Mr. Corney muscles were always ready and pumped

He trained with precision

Mr. Corney practiced posing with all the right moves

Posing with transition in elegance being smooth

Dramatics beyond any verbal script, but creativity being an art

Mr. Corney can be seen in the documentary of Bodybuilding being “PUMPING IRON “

Bodybuilding was Ed Corney’s heart

It was the fire burning within from the very start

One would often see Ed Corney among Arnold Schwarzzenger, Franco Columbu and Serge Nubret and other Bodybuilding champions

Mr. Corney trained lacking nothing, but everything to gain

Competition to win being the purpose

Yet Ed Corney was more than just Bodybuilding

It didn’t matter he won numerous bodybuilding titles, but ne never loss sight of devoted fans

It was Mr. Corney fans encouragement, and that is what caught Mr. Corney’s eyes on the prize of bodybuilding achievement

Mr. Corney was a humanitarian in every sense of the word

The weights in all gyms have dropped down on all floors

The loss of a Bodybuilding Champion

A long list of Bodybuilding competitions

A muscled hero will be posing in Heaven

Ed Corney’s final competition is won

He is in God’s Kingdom
God said, “I will give you rest and on Earth you did your best”

You have achieved awards on Earth

But Heaven will be your enriched birth

Ed Corney words he might would say, “Thank you fans, but my work in Bodybuilding is finished, and remember me in being distinguished. Train wise and achieve your own expectations, but always have the art of Bodybuilding in appreciation. Remember the greats who made Bodybuilding what it is today, and tomorrow being your heritage. It has been honor to share with you being one of the Bodybuilding stars. My journey has taken me beyond the Bodybuilding skies and planets. This is not a finale, but until we meet again.
