Thank You Whitney Houston

thanks whitney
for making our world beautiful
thank you personally for taking
words of a poets and presenting them
to the world. some of us 
would be nothing without you
but you added what our souls demanded
that fire and desire i wittnessed 
the whole thing from beggining to the end
and at 48 which is what i am now, you died
and it seems that you are just another step
that i take twards heaven when i say
she's gone

Nice tribute to the late songstress. I wrote one about her myself just a few hours after her death.

love this John, as I did her voice. She reached out to so many and her death is certainly a tragedy.
