Dedicated to my friend George Harrison, who passed away last night in Los Angeles. I love you George!

That sweet singing guitar,
Magic from finger tips
When only tender thirteen
George, you serenaded me

That boy in awe,
This man still is
Your wonderful quiet demeanor,
Spoke volumes of you

My heart softly weeps,
For I'll miss you
Rock star, then hero
Such a gentle human

Such a magnificent friend,
Still, there is joy
Together again with John,
Sweet Lord embracing you

Will pray for you,
Please pray for me
Left behind on Earth,
Hoping someday to follow

So many love you,
Including my dearest lady
Greeting you in Heaven,
Embrace her for me

Knowing when you arrive,
Heaven, one angel brighter
Playing your glorious music,
John by your side

One last thought George,
Won't it be super!
Paul and Ringo joining,
Command Performance, before God

Our sweet LOVE singer/songwriter/friend is gone, but will never, ever be forgotten. Thanks for writing this, Robert. But leave Paul and Ringo here a while longer, please.

Thanking all of you my friends for your wonderful comments on this special poem I wrote for George, and yes dear Doreen, I first met George at the Beatles last and final concert at Candlestick Park in San Franciso back in 1966! Love and peace to all of you wonderful poets, Robert
