The Tejano Queen

April rain fell from the sky 
like tears of mourn for a love gone by;
A memory of a golden past,
sweet love that ended so, so fast; 

A gorgeous face like a beauty queen;
A heart so soft and so pristine; 
Her voice that blew like a rhapsody 
in heartful hours of February. 

She was a queen in her own dominion.
She held her crown with deep devotion. 
She made hard days easy to pass. 
A glorious grace, she really was. 

Of all the days in month of April 
the sixteenth brought the lonely chill; 
The ides of March with a devious sound 
came echoing when no one's around. 

But her voice echoes in memories;
It's bound to live through centuries; 
For, her time is glorious to remember,
like a star that shines forever.
