Something Beautiful

A poem I wrote in memory of Whitney Houston when my heart was torn in two after she passed

Amazing was the Grace
That flowed from your face
No one can replace
Or erase
That voice from the Gift Giver
Now…you see Forever…
Something Beautiful!
The gift to the world
Even as a girl
As your skirts twirled
Notes of praise you hurled
So naturally…
And free…
Something Beautiful!
Your poise and beauty
Gave dignity to your duty
As you crooned
Many hearts swooned
A gift so extraordinary
Gave challenge to the canary…
Something beautiful!
Seeing your first interview in that baseball hat
(I wondered about that)
But we all could see
God’s Glory
And His Hand Freely Anointed You
His Love shined bright and true
I saw…
Something Beautiful!
