Dirge to Aretha Franklin

She was no ordinary woman
To have lived an ordinary life,
Making no ordinary plan
While living gracefully amid strife...

unnamed (9).jpg

Her name made a global Name
That rang a bell of great a goal,
And everywhere she went, her fame
Crowned her "The Queen of Soul!"

She lived the life of fulfilled dreams,
With the enchanting voice of a Muse,
And loved Life with all her whims,
What else has she to lose...?

Rest in Peace,
ARETHA FRANKLIN --
May you dwell in Bliss...
And Blessing!
