I think of Peter Tork when… Permalink

When peaceful dreams surround my mind
With visions of a special kind,
The shapes and forms of beauty
Make me think of Peter.
When dawn appears behind the leaves
And morning brings a sweeter breeze,
When daytime laughter fills the trees
I think of Peter.
When the ocean tide sweeps up the sand,
When I hold a flower in my hand,
When bells of peace toll out their joy—
I think of Peter.
When night-time falls upon the sky
And sleep-time comes slowly by,
When all the day is fast asleep
I dream of Peter.
When, in my age, the oldness comes
And youth is in family albums,
I’ll look back on these happy days
And I’ll remember Peter.
A dedication to Len “Romeo” Whiting Permalink
From Michelle Kline
Miami, Florida
Whenever I have a problem,
I rush right to my room.
And there you sit awaiting
To take away my gloom.
I tell you why I’m crying
And what is on my mind.
You never think I’m silly
You’re much too sweet and kind.
Your blue eyes seem to listen
In such a gentle way.
And as they look right at me,
My problems fade away.
Your sweet voice reassures me
In such a mellow tone
That I’m not the only girl
Who feels so all alone.
Although it’s just your picture
I tell my problems to,
I want to thank you, Len, dear,
For all the good you do.
Cos I know what you tell me
Is what you’d really say.
And that is why I love you
In a very special way!
