DAILY GRATITUDE THE BEATLES AND THE DOVE

I am finding my gratitude in the Beatles
and the pure white dove…
who stand for peace, 
for pacifism 
and who understand and symbolize 
to make the world a better place
all we need is love.

A Hard Day’s Night

The Beatles - Lay it to me

A Hard’s Days Night

    A hard day’s night, boss outta sight
blankets warm, everything’s all right
let’s snuggle, cuddle, no more storm
lovely voice on high, good in form
peace reigns on Earth, after mad work
baby is chuckling,  gone is stork
sing to stars and beckoning moon
guitar

Back in the USSR

June 21, 2025

For the Beatles 'Lay it to Me' song Contest by Charles Messina


The old iron curtain came down
But soon a clown reclaimed the crown
Ruthless and hollow-souled he rose
Now a foul Soviet wind blows
From the east it battered Ukraine
Spreading such cruel and endless pain
The past returns in blackened char
“Back in the U.S.S.R.”

Getting Her Into My Life

do you want to know a secret
a hard days night, of no regret
saw this girl, seems like yesterday
misery soon flying away
and as I saw her standing there
from me to you, a kiss I’ll share
got to get you into my life
so please, please me, become my wife

money can't buy me love, I knew
she let it be

The Beatles

The Beatles made an awesome hit;
from England came, and quickly lit
the way that music would be heard.
Though some would think it quite absurd,
their songs rose high on all the charts
and stole the love of teenage hearts.
Most famous song was "Yesterday."
Paul, John, George, Ringo- led their way! 

BEATLES BEGINNINGS

John..Paul..George..Ringo Starr
four Liverpool lads with drums+guitar
From Hamburg 's Reeperbahn
to a famous worldwide yarn

The Song is my Superpower

I’ve Just Seen a Face
my first selection
I become more than I am
for the contest
I sing without the prompts
and make the lyrics mine.
I'm happy to have the day off.
Neon lights shine in the window
as other patrons watch
and someone throwing darts
pauses to take a look.
Free deli sandwiches
and chips on a table—
a special night to partake.
My second, Lady

I Wonder

I wonder.

I wonder what will happen when 
all the English dictionaries are burnt 
and Shakespeare is abolished 
as FAR RIGHT and Racist, 
and when the Beatles are 
vilified for 'She Loves You' 
when it should have
been 'they them love you'. 
When the battle of Britain 
Begs an unreserved apology.
When the British inventions 
Are cast aside

A New Invasion

A New Invasion

February 7, 1964
Who can ever forget
It was D-Day in reverse
A major landing at JFK
America was taken by storm
Screaming fans had to be held back
Four young mop tops started an invasion

Conjuring the Lives of Paul McCartney and The Beatles

I’m bringing out the songs
lingering inside
as patrons in the bar
gaze at me—
I’ve been waiting for this night
for the last two days.
I am looking for the stars
while singing from my heart.
I sing I’ve Just Seen a Face
something I first heard
in sixth grade when walking
into the classroom.
Through the years it stirs
sweet memories of women I met.
I sing

The Beatles 'Rubber Soul' - 1965

   The Beatles, song stylists
     so far ahead of their time

   Their music, to harmony
     what poetry is to rhyme

SAT NAM

SAT NAM 

I am rose in sunlight breathing 
               Buddha in middle of balm bathing 
beckoning my Heart leavening lively 

I am a loop in Love cathedral of pure 
           

The Beatles

The band John Lennon
formed, called The Quarrymen
played half skiffle and
half rock and roll.
 
Four years later in
nineteen sixty, the band
evolved into The Beatles
with five men lineup.

John, Paul, George, Stuart,             
who died and Peter,
replaced by Ringo were
nicknamed The Fab Four. 

Their arrival here sixty
years

Beatles McCartney, Lennon, Harrison and Starr

Paul wrote songs he
sang with his guitar.
The “cute” one, he
has come amazingly far!

The “smart” one John
went successfully solo, but
one tragic day got
murdered by a nut.

George, smoker, lead guitarist
and spiritual, “quiet” one,
got cancer. He’d composed
“Here Comes the Sun.”

Ringo, the Beatles’ drummer, 
met his second wife
filming “Caveman.” They’ve enjoyed
a long, rich life.

to the beat beat beat my heart bears
the melody holds dear the magic spell
