The Beatles

when i was young
my father played me their songs 
and the message played from the speakers
was one of love.

"i want to hold your hand"
because when we touch, i feel happy inside.

"good day sunshine"
because you shine upon my love and i.

"something in the way she moves attracts me like no other lover"
because she is special in her own little way.

"when you told me you didn't need me anymore, i nearly broke down and died"
because i can't imagine a life without you.

I was in my teens when the Beatles appeared on the scene, I grew up with their music. I love the way you took lines from their songs and spun your own story around them. Nicely done, Astrid. Welcome to Poetry Soup. John
