Day 4
1938 - 2020
tears will be flowing all around the world today
bill withers has left us
the inspiration for so many joyful episodes in a life
his magic the stuff of poetry soaring way up
to the firmament of twinkling stars and wonder
thank you dear one for all the happiness and hope
may your eternal life be an endless lovely day
Written for day 4 of April 2020 poetry month at' imaginary garden with real toads ' Tender Buttons
So may it be! Thank you; you've said it for me too.

ReplyDeleteIn the early 80s I worked in an upscale restaurant, managed the dining room staff. Close to the dining room was a baby grand. A gentleman whose name I cannot recall played the piano for diners. Every evening he played "Lean on Me" .... just for me.
ReplyDeleteNice memories !
ReplyDeleteHis death hit me so hard. He has definitely been in the sound list of my life.
