Ray, I have written a poem for your birthday and it can be sung to the tune of "Mother"..I send it to you with tons of love and mostly with tons of thanks for changing the way I think about life...Live Forever!
Ed Lineberry

B is for the Boy who'll live forever

R is for the Rocket Man you are

A is for the August you were born in

D is for the Dandelion Wine you've served

B is for the Beauty of your writing

U is for the Universe you love

R is for the Reading you've inspired

Y for Yestermorrows yet to come

Put them all together they spell Bradbury

The man who means the world to me

Ed,

Do you wish me to print this out and read it to Ray?

Sing it, John, sing it!

YES! Thank you John! I would love for Ray to read this poem and to have you sing it to him...actually I plan on recording this in my studio as a song and can send you an MP3 in an email if that would be OK ...you can reach me at: cel77@cox.net
