Buddy It's Just You I'm Thinking Of (Insp. By Buddy Holly)

This poem is very special and one of the most meaningful poems I’ve ever written or will ever write. Many emotions went into this poem. This poem is my gift to musician Buddy Holly (and his family).

I’m very excited about this poem because when you love and respect someone you want to show them that you love what they love because they love it and that is what I tried to do here. I know Buddy loved music by Elvis so my title is inspired by Elvis. I hope this poem makes Buddy and family smile!

Buddy, It's just you I'm thinking of. I feel I've always known you, Though we've never even met. Since your music found me, It's you I can't forget. Generations far apart, But music doesn't mind. With lyrics that are timeless, You sing love into my life. This transcendental bond, You and I now seem to share. It means the world to me. I feel your presence everywhere. Someday I know I'll meet you when I reach the other side. You can count on me till then to keep your legacy alive. The things we have in common, I feel fortunate to share. From everything I've read, You and I are quite a pair. Now every day that comes my way, I thank our God above for sending me your music and your legacy and some members of your family, All for me to love.
