Last Song - Whitney Houston, R.I.P. Poem by John F. McCullagh

Last Song - Whitney Houston, R.I.P.



A thoroughbred voice.
A stellar career.
A beautiful woman
singing songs sweet and clear.

Must I mention the millions
that flowed to her coffers.
Whitney could have enjoyed
what this world has to offer.

Then she married a punk,
not the least bit refined.
She drank a bit much
she did a few "lines"

A broken down voice;
missed notes and miss dates.
A fate like Monroe's-
Cut off young by the fates.

Word 'fate' these days does not mean what it used to... Thank you for sharing your poem... may I add few verses: 'I'm every woman' - I believe in the truth - I hope that nothing will be condoned... I am lost for words and my heart is mute when I hear again what has been done...
