Icons...

(Work In Progress)

Our Icons are exiting

stage left

Causing a deep void

You know what I mean

A gaping weft.

Bill Withers,

Helen Reddy,

Glenn Campbell,

Kenny Rogers

&

Frankie Beverly

All took their last

Gracious bows

After leaving us with

Such beautiful templates

Of the way in which to love

Our fellow man and woman

Man their voices were

all just like wow!

I grew up listening to Lovely Day,

You & Me Against The World,

Coward Of The County, I’ll Be Home For

Christmas And Joy & Pain,

Listen here… my older sister

And I couldn’t wait until the

Needle hit the wax on the

Weekends it was like much

Needed rain...
