John

remembering one of my true heroes for his 75 birthday,

To John,

 

He said, “All you need is Love”,

We snickered in disdain,

Or we nodded our heads

In feigned agreement,

Or with a sigh of resignation,

Wished it were so.

Author's Note

an older work, about 15 years old,, it's interesting, i think to see how ones work changes over time. John was as close to a hero to me as anyone since my early childhood, that void has not been replaced and i doubt it ever will be again.

Love this, Dan. I agree with you...that void may never be replaced! What an extraordinary man he was.
