such a formal occassion this is
having come in spiritual attendence
to the departing of a friend
it's sad but it is a fact well known
living that type of life style
next thing you know your gone
you were truely a chapion
at the head of your game
very few in comparison
could compete with your name
you were a Diva with a capital D
Divine in measure
you brought to the world
endless pleasure
and suddenly, unexpectingly, surprisingly
they say you've gone
your body is here, but no one alive
can bring you back
not even for one more show
i wonder how Aretha must feel
having lived longer than you

Soon it will be time
To move on to a new place
The other house is almost ready
Between us becomes more space
Everyone knows
My family heritage come first
My heart will always be yours
Yet, retirement is what a thirst
I've worked hard
Years in advance
I can enjoy living a life
Maybe begin to dance
In the absence of marriage
I've been given dreams
I've gain all that I need
Just time to mend the seams
If you ever want
To see what success can be
At forty-five years old
Semi-retired is going to be reality
Maybe then
With my children grown
I can find true love
Happiness all my own
I look back onto
Hardships, hate, and despair
I made so many mistakes
I am now humbly prepared
My desires will be met
Unexpectingly I'm sure
I will wait patiently
For love true and pure
Five more years to go
Must hold on with all my might
Nothing can interfere
No one is worth a fight
I rest in peace
My head lays upon solid ground
Unified till the end
My true love I have found
I'll be at the orchard
Built with blood, sweat, and tears
My place of retirement
In the upcoming years
