Dear John,

I wanted a blog that didn't just go into depth about how awesome God is; because God is inevitably awesome. I wanted something more...Creative. I wanted to write something so surreal, so finite. So, here, is something I would say to my role model, John Lennon:

Dear John,
What can I say? You're a legacy. You know this, of course. I do not need to tell you of your worth. You wrote songs with such ease and imagery that even the poets and philosophers of the ancient of days can not compare. Not just your songs, but your lifestyle is truly inspiring.
Your beliefs about life, wealth, and God are fascinating in every conceivable sense. I only wish to live such an anecdote that I may inspire people as you have inspired me. "Imagine all the people living life in peace," is such a legacy that will remain pure and fruitful. I wish so badly that you could see the world, as it is today. Granted I'm positive you would not be happy with what you saw. However, if you were to live amongst us, you would indefinitely change the world furthermore than you already have, sir.
Oh, why did life have to be taken from you so quickly? Whomever could ever hate you? Whomever could hate anyone so much as to take their lives from them? In such ripe timing, too! The epitome of your fame was rising. What a life you would have, still if you were here, still.
I only seek the answer to this one question: how under Heaven did you get such inspiration for such epic songs? Could you possibly teach me how to write from the heart? I long to feel such deep emotion as to change the world one day.
I know you are up in Heaven, dear John, playing and giving peace a chance like you would hear on Earth. Furthermore, you are probably sitting in your Strawberry Fields Forever, witnessing A Day in the Life. 
Peace to you, my good friend. Thank you for your heart and inspiration. All my love to you, my fellow advocate for justice and mercy.
