Meeting Andy Gibb-March Fifth-His Birthday

Meeting Andy Gibb: Today is His Birthday

Some moments in life we just
cannot totally recall,
Like rapid moving waters one sees 
in a waterfall.
But meeting Andy, I will
cherish and remember.
His eyes, his smile, far more
than warm and tender.

I can't think of another soul,
so glowing, bright and beautiful.
Oh, how I want so to make a
picture,
Of this singer gone much too
soon!
His demeanor, so gloriously
blissful.

I was blessed enough to touch 
his hand, and that
smile indeed, so loving.
I had no intention of giving
him a gift.
But I felt in that time-moment,
I was en route to heaven on 
a starry chariot!

With no reason or rhyme,
my visor with sparkling,
Multi colored lights~ I 
suddenly gave to Andy!
He was as pleased as punch.
Just before getting into his limo 
for lunch,
He turned, smiled and spoke:
"Thank you Mate!.
On the Southern California beaches,
this sure will come in handy".

Today is Andy Gibb's birthday,
Bet you anything he's singing
away with a sparkling visor, on God's 
holy moon.
By angels, serving him a large, 
sumptuous buffet.
With his brothers, very close beside him.
Humming a tune.



In memory of Andy Gibb
With love from~
Panagiota

Yes, Alexis! He looked so fab with my visor and blinking lights , getting into his limousine. I wish I had picture of that. But, it lives on in my memory and soul and now, in this poem. Gentle and humble, man. "Shadow Dancing"- just gorgeous as was he, Best to you, Panagiota xx

Ah,sweet Andrea! I wish you had been with me for Ebert, especially. I know you admire him. Andy had those same qualities. Both successful yet not felt good enough, it's unbelievable to me... Thanks for FAVINg, I think you saw the poem re,,,Ebert. May both rest in peace happily. Panagiota xx
