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 |

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 |
