Norme Jean
With beauty beyond compare
long golden locks of hair
a complexion that was perfection
slim and slender, lips so tender
her smile would melt a thousand
hearts.
she had style, she had grace
more than just a pretty face.
From this girl so meek and humble
soon the world would feel the rumble.
filled with love and much desire
she would set our hearts afire.
she had hopes, she had dreams,
to be on the golden screen,
who could have foreseen
she would be a movie queen.
From the tiny role as a gangsters moll
to the seven year itch
where the dumb blonde image
began to stick.
many times she showed such pride
at being a glowing bride,
but the marriages began slide,
left her broken from inside,
left her scared,
her career jarred.
When in the midst of her famous affair
the people were running scared,
she kept a dairy so we hear
that put politicians deep in fear.
in the end, she was forsaken, and
her life abruptly taken.
the world was left transfixed,
many people deeply shaken.
She left us with much memories
filled with love and much desire,
she still sets our hearts on fire.
how much different would her life
have been, if she had stayed, just
Norma Jean.
