Imagine

In another time and place
Music continues to play
As John Lennon caresses his keys
Giving sweet tunes away
If one day I meet him there I will have a smile
Ninety minutes a day would be my slice of heaven
Enjoying listening to him play

John Lennon is my favourite musician of all time! And you chose to write about one of the best songs ever written (in my humble opinion). Wonderful job, Rick! As always, a real treat to read your work tonight.
