" Mr. Music "
Posted: Fri May 14, 2010 7:02 am
Away back sometime when
A lad in the Carolinas was born
John Phillips came to be
As a child
He was a tad wild
Never content to sit still
But as he got older
Music entered in his being
For him that was a thrill
His knack for songwriting
Arrangements just so
A gift that has stood for time
Legendary status quo
Although domineering and determined
Yet sometimes whimsical and off beat
A man of many moods
Yet profoundly followed his beat
For those who knew him best
Understood and sometimes looked away
But forever will his legacy live on
And how his existence proved historical
He rests in peace today...
