We Miss You John We've missed you John Since you've been gone Long years ago in youth, And tell the truth,      It's never been the same. To the moon and back again We sent our rockets and our men, And we've had others, after you, Who thought that they could also do      The job as well. But none, like you, have set our hearts Aflame with dreams and hopes. We try in futile fits and starts To keep our nation off the ropes      And win the game. We tried a "Great" society. I'm glad that you don't have to see This mess .... all's falling down. We struggle but we're losing ground.      At times it seems like Hell. It's thirty years That you've been gone. We've had some joy but lots of tears.      We miss you John. ©1993 by Wayne Hepburn - All Rights Reserved
