Lubbock Man: An Ode To Buddy Holly

Sparkling eyes –
Covered by horn-rimmed glasses.
A boyish grin illuminates the world.
The brightest of stars extinguished in a tragic second.

He came, he went.
Music’s voice was forever changed.
The road to stardom was now completely paved.

Records were made, records were broke.
The American dream was lived.
The visions of a little Lubbock boy,
Were fulfilled by the tune of a Lubbock man.
