John Lennon…
Activist, artist, Beatle, father, guitarist, husband, poet, singer, songwriter…
Arrived on Earth October 9, 1940
Departed way too soon, December 8, 1980…
His music, songs and spirit live on and on…

Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear.
