More Than a Star

Fair skin, platinum hair 
No other beauty did compare
Naïve, innocent like a child 
With a sexuality that drove men wild
The beauty she possessed
Increased as her years progressed
Unlike Venus Demi low she was real
With sex appeal and looks that kill
Unable to capture her beauty on screen
In real life her exceptional beauty could be seen
Never fading this remarkable star
All the world still knows who you are
Norma Jean ends as Marilyn begins
Legendary her sensation that never ends
No not blowing out in the wind
This candle's light will never end
Forever after and for all time
For eternity she will shine

Hey, Norma Jean---she will, indeed, forever shine, even if only on the screen... Tragic, her story... Congrats on your win, Michael! Cheers, Gershon
