on the 25th anniversary of John Lennon's senseless death
November 1980


Dear John




Twenty-five years
And what have we done?
Listened and loved
And learned,
Your music forging
Our souls.
All we need is love,
Stuck in our minds
An illusive goal.
Imagine your world
Meeting ours.
Bringing the love and peace,
So obvious to you then,
So obvious to us now.
So simple.

How you would love
To see us today,
On the brink
Of understanding
Your eternal rules.
Twenty-five years
To find you.
Twenty-five years
And we are nearly
Giving peace a chance.
Should have done it
Yesterday.

What a tribute to one one the most spiritual singers of our times, he lives, and shall live with us forever...His 'imagine' is my all time favourite Hymn, I have even written an Urdu poem inspired by his'imagine'!
Thanks esti for bringing back the fond memories of John Lenon & childhood...
(((((hugs)))))

Brilliantly done Esti a fitting tribute to a great singer and songwriter who is sorely missed and always will be :-(
