RIP JOHN PRINE

A child was born and raised in Illinois 
Learnt to play the guitar when he was a boy
Served in the US army he became a man 
To become a songwriter was his plan 

In the early seventies he got his big break 
Left all other musicians in his wake 
Everyone knows I love the lyrics to a song 
John Prine wrote the best I'm not wrong 

Another helpless victim of Covid 19
Deprived us of a talent so rarely seen 
Rest easy John your songs are your legacy
Your music is so very special to me
