Horn Aretha Haiku
Horn Aretha Haiku
Knew from beginning
Her mission was accomplished;
For her stand so proud.
Was quite a singer
Who we are certain to miss
For infinity.
Seemed so soft spoken;
About her she had a way
We will not forget.
Sing some song softly;
Have flowers at her service;
With smiles can conclude.
Will remember her;
Had been courteous and sweet;
So very polite.
How much we love her;
Words to remember her by;
Aretha Franklin.
Simple and so kind;
Aretha always austere;
A humble person.
We had been spell bound;
Our souls she had held captive;
Never would let go.
Can hear her each song;
We will cherish forever;
Hum to selves each day.
A small part of me,
Left when she had gone away,
Being heaven bound.
