Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton is a woman
that I look up to.
She doesn't give in like many others do

to the pressure she faces
to be seen a certain way
she stays the same by night and by day.

Dollywood is Dolly's 
family theme park
Bringing smiles to families from dawn til after dark.

She speaks and acts with that Southern Belle charm
And would never wish anyone any real harm.

Her profile is one that can't be mistaken
Her hair always perfect in the pictures that are taken.

She sings beautifully, talented and truly amazing
She does so much, even when she's lazing.

She won't speak on politics,  so don't even try
She know she's looked up to and so that is why

She's a good role model for us to look up to
I'd kinda like to be 
like her, don't you

I could listen to her sing all day long, but could not sit in a room with her without trying to rip off my ears! That accent is pure torture! Aloha! Rico
