When John was in his early 20's he started to become an avid reader (I wish that had happened while he was in school:) He particularly like biographies, as he was always curious about real people much more than fictional people. One afternoon we were talking about music, and John mentioned that he had heard many musicians say they were inspired by Bob Dylan. John wasn't too familiar with this guy. So I bought him a biography of Bob Dylan, and made him a bookmark with the lyrics of one of Dylan's songs. Now, this song seems almost prophetic in some way. I wanted to read this at John's funeral, but I had already taken a lot of time. So I will write the lyrics here. "Forever Young" by Bob Dylan May God bless and keep you always May your wishes all come true May you always do for others May let others do for you May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung May you stay forever young Forever young, forever young May you stay forever young. May you grow up to be righteous May you grow up to be true May you always know the truth And see the lights surrounding you May you always be courageous Stand upright and be strong May you stay forever young Forever young, forever young May you stay forever young. May your hands always be busy May your feet always be swift May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift May your heart always be joyful And may your song always be sung May you stay forever young Forever young, forever young May you stay forever young. And John will always be remembered as forever young...
