Jimmy Buffet was right

~

 

Whenever life has

got you down,

the end seems

out of reach

 

Just grab your flip flops

and your towel

and head off

to the beach

 

The ocean and

the summer sun

will wipe away

that frown

 

Just find your spot

along the shore

when life has

got you down

 

(and maybe a margarita or two)

 

 

Rest in Peace my friend

  

 

Author's Note

Jimmy Buffet, an American singer-songwriter, author, poet and businessman passed away on September1st after a battle with cancer. He was a big part of my life and will be missed dearly.
This is a poem I wrote a few years back inspired by his lust for life and happiness. I hope you enjoy it.

That's a shame. He was a lot of fun if you listened. Thanks so much Jacob

Another great one gone. I just saw Gary Wright also died. I feel like a part of me is drifting away with only memories left.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

oh no, The Dream Weaver, gone too?
Sad...

I saw that too. Sad days for sure.

Indeed, rest in peace, Jimmy, but I fear you stayed in that sun too long.
