To Aretha...Rest in Peace


Poem Artwork

We said a little prayer for you

still…He sent His angels, who came

and you donned your wings…and flew

now there’s peace…no more pain

And I think of you…

     there…shining…like a precious stone

          the eternal realms …filled with your voice

                 free from worldly cares…you’re home!

                       we miss you, but you were…His choice

And who deserves it more…

than one who sang and gave much respect

a lady…so esteemed and adored

of course, you’re one of…His elect

Rest on…Aretha…rest on!

for in our hearts, you’re never gone

yet…I just wanted you to know…

           we said a little prayer for you

                before you donned your wings…and flew

 

2Tim 4:7

'Loved her from the very start! Dynamic girl into a woman. Christian woman as well. God took her home.

Love ya!

As I read you made me think of Dionne Warwick and whether not she did that yesterday… Singing that song matching your poem for her friend and fellow artist.

Aretha had such a unique voice and delivery that made her songs so soulful and resonant. But I always sensed a feeling of sadness whenever I saw her in the public eye. While she could smile and crack a joke while talking of love of her food and cooking, that sadness was always there. She is free from that now. But we have lost a national treasure.

She wasn't just the queen of soul, she was American royalty. May her legacy and music live forever.
