Dear John

...in memory of John Lennon

Dear John

 

Thirty six years to the day

it has been,

and still

we can only

imagine …

no hell below us

nothing to kill or die for

no need for greed or hunger

a brotherhood of man.

[Kelly Scheppers]

...so glad you enjoyed it, Al...I was proud to write it!

[James]

I wonder if he would have had such an impact had he survived.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I think he'd still have a hand in songwriting and recording...he enjoyed it too much to not be a part of it. Makes you wonder though, the caliber of music he'd be making! Thank you, James!

[MOON]

Sad loss and nothing changed or improved...

[Kelly Scheppers]

...thank you, Moon!

[Lydia Shutter]

I am sorry to say I believe we will always be imagining. Yes, 36 years ago...such a waste of a talented young life. His thoughts, his words, his music will live on. Beautiful tribute, Kelly. Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

I am certain John has been looking down through the years...and simply shaking his head. Thank you, Lydi. Your words, as always, touch the heart and soul of me.

Deranged fan killed a great man of music and wit.I wonder of his music he would have had out in the 36 years passed. As always a true poet's write Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I often think about that myself, Andrew. Merry Christmas, my friend!

[Ted Kniffen]

Such a senseless act of cowardice from a supposed fan. John was always the Beatle I favoured, a truly
gifted man with many flaws, like so many of us. (maybe not the gifted part) :) I always liked his self-portrait, a good choice. A good tribute, Kelly. Well done

[Kelly Scheppers]

I believe John was everyone's favorite. Thank you for the kind words, Ted...and Merry Christmas!

[Ted Kniffen]

Merry Christmas, Kelly

[Kelly Scheppers]

I adore the Im leaving you, but you left me too soon twist. Your words make my mind sharper...my emotions fine tuned. The wind is crisper. I can feel the softness of the water. I smell lavender and mint from the cut fields.it must be your heart...you roll it's beats into your art.mesmerizing.......

[Kelly Scheppers]

I adore the scent of lavender and mint...just as much as your inner most perspective upon my words. Thank you, Eve!

[Tony Jordan]
