To Paul - whose words depict our times
Within melodic runic rhymes
As woven lyrical designs

To Paul - your Tug of War in life
Inspired you to pen Peace Pipes
For a world besieged with strife

To Paul - the idol of our youth
Who sang of love in words of truth
And suffered much undue abuse

To Paul - whose music paved the way
For Sargent Pepper’s Band to play
And gave us dreams of Yesterday

To Paul - whose Wings taught us to fly
By granting hope and leave to try
With joy that begged to touch the sky

To Paul - whose sadness now we see
In loss of love through destiny
Our prayer for him is Let It Be
