In Memory of a Great Female Artist

I am but a stranger Pen to paper , Words from the heart Trying to describe an icon. Who are you? Like Michael Jackson the king of pop You are a legend, You are unique, Bless, gifted and talented. Yet in the darkest of places Secluded and alone, You are weak, Scared and confused. You once said, you are your own worst enemy, Yet a friend, Laid to rest , Put to sleep Your fears Your plead Your sorrows are at its end. Now asleep the world mourns, Heaven rejoices , Angels sings. The child once lost has found her way home Born into a family, Enriched by love, Sanctified by God’s grace. Who were you? You were a child of God Lent to the world To unite music and love And now that your time has end How shall we remember you? Remember the queen of R/B The voice she possessed, The songs she sang, The records she sold, The hearts she touched.
