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
