John Paul Ringo George

Not just Beatles with a good stomping tempo; You sang to all of us and not at us, My heart swelled with love at your words. I listened and you never left this mind. You gave young brains a new way of thinking, Mine was gently whirled to a drummer beat. I found a musician hiding inside of me, Played the skins for many years afterward. Was told I was better than my idol Ringo, Yet in my own thoughts I knew better. Richard, you had a smile that grooved, And sense of timing which was wondrous. John, your courage gave me mine on stage, The sheer peacefulness of you was inspiring. Then the beautiful explosion of your voice, It blew me away into a place I still am. George, it wasn't just your guitar that sang, Your presence alone turned shyness into a hero. So many wall flower kids didn't dream until you. I knew you were special when my eyes met yours. Paul, oh sir what glorious thoughts still live with me, The handsome cute one with a mind of pure genius. My girl saw the cute and I was absorbed by the brilliance, You, Ringo, John, and George are part of me forever. Love, Robert Note: I was lucky enough to personally see the Beatles up close at their last live concert back in 1966 at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, California! © Copyright 2014 Robert William Gruhn - All Rights Reserved
