R I P Whiteny Houston --Tribute Poem--

It’s such a shame that your life had to end so soon, You had true talent and vocals rare in bloom, But then somehow it all went a way, You changed and got into some bad things, And now the world has lost a legend. Perhaps, though you were lost long ago When your mind went haywire, And the drugs stole your life. Why did you do it? Wasn’t everything you had enough? What wasn’t there that made you decide to ruin it all? I cannot comprehend why someone with such skills as thee Would waste such a precious gift from God And squander it until it was no more. Perhaps, If God had warned you, Maybe you would have changed your ways… Perhaps, perhaps not; we shall never really know But the memory I, and hopefully many, have Will be of the greatness you once shined in You will still be an inspiration, a lesson, and a legend to all who know you Your talent will be remembered as something that was real, A marvel to dwell upon For how many nowadays can claim their voice is true? Not many, some, but not many May you light shine on those who can, May your inspiration lift others. And may you live on as the legend you are…
