ARETHA - queen of soul
the queen of soul has passed away
but in our hearts she will always stay
"RESPECT " the best selling record of its time
became the favorite of yours and mine.
hailed by presidents and put in the hall of fame
where her memory will forever remain.
she was an angel sent here to sing
and all the joy that she would bring.
but she was not just a woman or just a singer
she was an "ICON " she was "Royalty "
and showed us how love should be.
we will miss you, heaven knows but you
are the one GOD has chose to sing in his
glorious choir dressed in heavens white attire.
REST IN PEACE MY QUEEN
