Waking up today
with this information
that George has gone away.

They had said he was ill
I was in denial
he would live his fill.

The kindest of men
with a brlliant mind
a musician among friends.

I feel sad to see
an end to such a life
"All Things Must Pass", said he.

Goobye to another part
of my childhood dreams
He will stay in my heart.

...George Harrison...?!?  If this is true, this is quite the news to stumble across...  Thank you for the tribute and wake up call.  Indeed -- the news is on and reality sinks in...  another page in history turns.

~Sweet Sandra,...I know. (All things must pass). It's never easy though. But, you can hold him forever in your heart, it's big and beautiful enough for sure. *Peace, to him and you.

Thank you. And thank George. I pray he finds some of the peace in afterlife that he spread around on earth.

The muse sung sweet songs to him
he laid them down for all to see
an Afterlife shall be his
this sweet man, and his poetry...

Thank you Cat...

SIGH..
I can't even come up with any spontaneous lines from  his songs. Besides "All Things Must Pass" I am too sad.

Sandra, thank you. I am in tears, and having a hard time accepting that one of my all time music, as well as humanitarian, heros is gone. LOVE. That is the one word that comes first to my mind when I think of GH. He was quietly funny, but always centered on LOVE being the number one thread that ties humanity together. It seems as if this year I will be buying candles every week.

Yes, I will also miss him dearly.  Like you, I feel as if my "history" is disappearing.  Much too young he was to go so soon.  Goodbye, George.
