Let It Be

A man named John spoke of Camelot

and would become the new president

for the largest generation -

 

He challenged, “...ask not what your country can do...

ask, what can you do...”

 

And then from across the ocean a song played like no other!

It was February of sixty-four

came the Fab-Four –

 

Beatles with long hair and full of bother

singing about holding hands because she loves you.

 

For a moment – youth held forever

Mesmerized; And held in surprise

with every new album every teenager welded together.

 

That was nearly fifty years ago daughter John -

that has brought us to this point

when on a summer night, upon a Wrigley rooftop,

you found and connected

Camelot, Paul, and the Beatles

to a young man who still yearns to just Let It Be.
