Tom Petty

When people we admire die, Of course we mourn and wonder why Someone so special had to leave; We cannot know and so we grieve. The music world and those who rock Come yesterday received a shock. Tom Petty’d had a heart attack And no, he won’t be coming back. To all his fans, and I am one, The sinking in has not begun. To face the passing of Tom Petty Can’t be done – I’m just not ready.
