Notes About The Poem

John Denver Poetry Contest

Gift to the World

Some people make their mark on the world
when they are alive
they share their gift with others
and are famous for a moment
but some people are remembered 
long after their death and their
gift is shared over and over again 
John Denver's songs and personality 
were very special and I was a huge fan
before and after he passed away
Today as the sun shines bright on the
white snow, the words to "Sunshine on my Shoulders"
run through my mind, and out
of my mouth in a song I didn't plan to sing
He had a true gift and his songs will
long be remembered
