The Chronicles of an Ordinary Man Who Led an Extraordinary Life

When he was born,
His parents named him John,
They had no hopes for their son,
To them he was as good as gone.

He had an older brother,
Who was his best friend,
But a tragic accident,
Would bring their friendship to an end.

His father would blame John,
Indeed he would come to loath him,
And he cursed the heavans,
Believing God to have robbed him.

This upset John greatly,
So he turned to music,
To calm his angry soul,
To sooth him.

John got himself a guitar,
And also joined the army,
He proposed to his girl,
She thought he was crazy.

Their relationship was tough,
They had problems paying the rent,
John couldn't sell a thing,
In their bills, he couldn't make a dent.

It was then, at his lowest ebb,
When walking down the street one day,
That he saw a building,
That made his heart jump with joy.

He formed a band,
And they auditioned,
The owner wasn't impressed,
To him it was repitition.

Then John had an idea,
And he played his own song,
The owners eyes brightened,
His first impression was wrong.

John and his band toured the country,
But his relationship continued to suffer,
When he met a woman on the tour,
Who happened to be a real looker.

She had flowing hair,
And a warm gaze,
Her name was June,
John was completely dazed.

Then the pressures of touring,
Began to take their toll,
And John turned to drugs,
To lift him from this depressing hole.

Yet things continued to get worse,
His relationship at home was destroyed,
June wanted nothing to do with him,
It was as if his world was hit by an asteroid.

And John remained on the drugs,
Not realising his problem;
It took a near death experience,
To make him realise he needed a solution.

Then John began to turn his life around,
He and June went back touring,
And they recorded a new album,
Everything was going smoothly.

Yet John was not content,
He had a deep desire burning inside of him,
At the bottom of his heart,
And he asked June to marry him.

At first she refused his advances,
But it seemed to be destiny,
And she said yes,
In front of an entire assembly.

John led an extraordinary life,
He had millions of fans,
And a beautiful wife,
But it should never be forgotten...

That he was an ordinary man,
Who achieved extraordinary things.
