A survey by “Rolling Stone”
Is so inconceivable... Celine Dion
The world renowned Quebec chanteuse
Was not included on the list
Of 200 of the world's greatest singers
Even Miley Cyrus was ranked above Celine
Seems like a major “fault pas” to me
In fact, it's downright absurd
I remember her as a young teen
A prodigy newly discovered
A stellar virtuoso
Her voice was like no other
Born to entertain with passion
Programmed to excel
She saw her talent as a gift
Meant to share with the world
She went for her dream with zeal
Her focus unwavering
The planet hers to conquer
She never hesitated
I followed her through the years
All the way to superstardom
A powerhouse role model for all
Who dare to be audacious

Draw with fond style a charming grace,
Imprint clear choice of notes you sing;
Voice for a while as angels trace,
Aim ample poise with voice flair strings.
Come take us high as vocals thrill,
Embrace the muse with rapture here;
Love unfurls sighs with touch and fill,
Intent can fuse warmth and good cheer;
Notes in octaves that glow with flow,
Entice in lines of vivid thought.
Dream follows crave as fancy knows,
Imprint feels fine in vibrant lot;
Observe sure voice that echoes wild,
Now feel song choice of inner child.

It's in your body.
Now it's too late
To take it back because
Of your mistake. Don't
Xaggerate!
It's because you drank.
Car accidents are deadly, especially when you
Are drunk!
This is why you don't drink
In a car while you're driving.
Oh no! The result is a crash.
Now it's too late to take it back!
The first time ever I saw your face,
I didn’t think twice,
I wanted to love you more
But in all the confusion,
I had to be on the next plane out
In just a few hours
I realized that there is
No living without, loving you
I was falling into you,
And with that knowledge
Came the fact that
love doesn’t ask why,
so here I am with just one thing
in mind that I love you
and I want to make you happy
and if walls could talk
they would say, that this is
my top 10 songs of Celine Dion…
I listen to ........................ CELINE
As she so powerfully ........ SINGS
To me, the love enters ..... ME
In my heart I feel her ...... LOVE
Pounding out her ............. STORIES
