Bob Marley

Bob was the greatest,
 Mr Marley was the best,
 Guitar in hand,
 Words from his lips,
 Puts your mind at rest,
 He left us great music,
 He left us great thoughts,,                                             
 Songs like "JAH LIVE",                                                         
 Captured my heart,                                                            
 "NO WOMAN NO CRY",                                                          
 Made me love my,                                    
 Mothers and kids a lot more,                                              
 And the "THREE LITTLE BIRDS",                                             
 Are still singing for sure,                                                     
 "BUFFALO SOLDIERS" are partying in America,
 Drinking "RED RED WINE",
 "ONE LOVE", one heart,
 Lets all get together and feel alright....

I'm a white guy who loves Bob Marley. My first wife was from South America and her younger brother introduced me to Bob's music. I was hooked. I love to dance and Reggae has the best beat. I enjoyed this trip down memory lane.
