John Loving Iii Poet Free verse

Thank You Whitney Houston

thanks whitney
for making our world beautiful
thank you personally for taking
words of a poets and presenting them
to the world. some of us 
would be nothing without you
but you added what our souls demanded
that fire and desire i wittnessed 
the whole thing from beggining to the end
and at 48 which is what i am now, you died
and it seems that you are just another step
that i take twards heaven when i say
she's gone
