Happy Birthday John

Thank you for the Love you gave
Through music, word and art
You shine on in our hearts and minds
In my life you've played a special part

Far better it is to celebrate
This day when your life began
And somehow now, even though you're gone
You can still help us understand

Love is the answer across the Universe
Yes is the best reply
There's nothing that you cannot do
The word is Love, let's try! 

Love to you John!

I Wonder Can You?

You know John-
I can imagine no possessions
Save two
The mighty pen
And blank paper - reams of it

Yet even without them
I can still imagine
Happiness and Love
Words spoken are
Still heard
Remembered and visualized

Imagining no possessions
Is easy
What is not easy is
No imagination
Without which
The world would
Perish!

In a blank stare
Of eternal emptiness
But you would need
To imagine
THAT too
Yes?

Sharon Richards lives in Orlando, FL.  She holds a degree in Broadcasting but her heart is held by John Lennon.  Spending years as a video production assistant and a decade in corporate America one element was consistent, she was always writing. When her business writing collided unexpectedly with her passion for John Lennon’s music, an explosion of creativity resulted.  “I've never been so passionate," Sharon says. " Studying John Lennon changed all that.  Inspiration is certainly at the base of most of my work.  I hope Beatle fans are open to it and enjoy reading my poetry as much as I have enjoyed writing it."  Sharon can also be seen at most Beatlefests promoting her book, Drop Forged Lennon, and its successor due out October 9th --  Drop Forged Lennon- the Other Side.  Check out her website at www.dropforgedlennon.com for details and upcoming poetic happenings with Sharon.
