Patsy Cline

A namesake for Virginia where she was born and raised She became known as Patsy and we became amazed Since she was young she wowed the folks with her distinctive voice It seems that she was born to sing,she didn't have a choice When she went walking after midnight she took us along Filled us with heartbreak when she fell to pieces in a song Patsy sang of guardian angels,and being crazy in love How could she know that far too soon she'd be called above She survived a car wreck and still she continued to sing Such a shining star she was with all the joy she'd bring Then it happened on a stormy night in sixty three Her plane crashed with no survivors near Nashville,Tennessee Patsy was but thirty one when she lost her life there Still,she's been an inspiration to singers everywhere Gone but not forgotten,she's one of the best we've known In heaven's band she sings now and she doesn't sing alone! for contest"Gone Too Soon" sponsored by Chris Matt

A very good tribute poem. Patsy Cline was a great singer...very expressive with her bell-like voice. This poem is quite expressive too.
