We all live….
in a yellow submarine. The registration for an upcoming forum asked a couple of questions, no doubt to collect data to prove/disprove previous leadership studies that will be referenced during said forum.
Q. If you won a million dollars a year for the rest of your life, what would you do?
A. Help others through volunteer work & finances, write a book and…. buy a yellow submarine!

You see, myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope was a Beatles fanatic, like so many others of our generation. Whenever he played the lottery and someone would ask, “what will you do if you win?” he would answer, “I’ll buy a yellow submarine!” I’ve always thought it comical, but then again he was quite the jokester, always making people laugh.
I’ve sung along with the song at least a hundred times, but until I just printed the lyrics I didn’t understand. You see myDarlin’ would talk of the water, the ocean often and what a major role it played in his life. It was a playground, a food source, a source of life that must be respected.

In the town where I was born,
Lived a man who sailed to sea,
And he told us of his life,
In the land of submarines.
Lived a man who sailed to sea,
And he told us of his life,
In the land of submarines.
So we sailed on to the sun,
Till we found a sea of green,
And we lived beneath the waves,
In our yellow submarine.
Till we found a sea of green,
And we lived beneath the waves,
In our yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
And our friends are all aboard,
Many more of them live next door,
And the band begins to play...
Many more of them live next door,
And the band begins to play...
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
As we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine
Every one of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine
Friends, waves, a life of ease, abundance – all of these a way of life for us. And God’s love is the yellow submarine. We can take all of what we love and reside in the protection of God’s promise.
I am filled with gratitude as I find the small red notebook that he used to record his blood pressure in. And on the cover? A yellow submarine….
