The Day You Flew To Heaven

We knew , it was if a moment stopped in time hearing the news before most of the World did He loved to fly his plane from Colorado to Monterey Bay He was a avid golfer at Pebble Beach respected He had loves and passions from many places deciding to fly low through the overcast red sunset Not only did he love music and inspire all He loved his Plane , he will always remain a beautiful Soul The next day it was confirmed ..all saddened It was John Denver's plane that went down Today in Pacific Grove stands the Memorial So Kiss me and smile for me we will ~ always in loving memory OH babe , do we hate you go ~ Inspired by ; contest in Music and Loss of an Artist "Leaving on a Jet Plane "

I love this Poem because I loved John Denver and my Dad was killed in his plane also,. It's interesting that I was just listening to Jim Croce the other night, which was another great killed in a plane crash. Very Nice Job on this Poem Yvette, I have thoroughly enjoyed all reading your Poems. Keep them coming . MLK
