Pavarotti

His life of song Did not go wrong. First early flight Soared up so right That year on year Grew height on height. His passioned voice Gave fast rejoice To all who heard. Not nature's bird, But manhood's good, His star-flung word. No galaxy That men can see Has half the shine Of this man's mind. Space-trips through lips---- His soul's gold mine.

I saw him several times..he had THE voice..Jose Carreras, the other one, of the three tenors is my favorite..voice going but considering what he has been through its amazing. He and Pavorotti were great friends. I do miss the big guy. BG
