Roy Pett Poet Rhyme

Aretha Franklin 1942-2018

Voice of an angel our wonderful queen of soul

sending out her amazing message of respect 

to build a freeway of love her ultimate goal,

I knew you were waiting (for me), without neglect,

she'd say a little prayer, with amazing Grace

she thought Dr. Feelgood was young gifted and black

mend a bridge over troubled waters, or replace,

melodic vocal power showed in every track,

this is just my tribute, my small way of thanking

this natural woman, god bless Aretha Franklin.

One quick question- please can you tell me the secret to importing a picture, such as Arerhas above a poem. Best, Dennis Roy Pett September 26, 2018 at 3:56 PM Thank you so much Dennis, in my humble opinion she was best female vocalist of my generation, re importing an image sending you a soupmail my friend. :))
