Love You…
Whitney Huston. I will.
For the beauty of your voice
Lingers in the tremulous beat
Of a lover’s heart…
For the songs you gave life to
For the way you inspired with
“The Greatest Love of All”
For how you and Kevin Kostner
Made “Bodyguard” magical for me…
For you. A wonderful singer.
And I do not know more about you
Other than how much I will miss
Hearing your voice again, shake down
The blues that hit, unprepared
And for just giving me sustenance
Singing, “When you believe” with Mariah Carey.
For the pleasure of your songs
For the richness and honesty of your voice.
Rest in Peace, Whitney Huston.

its a big loss loved the poetry tribute….songs from bodyguard and athor albums still haunt and float in my air…some lines from “one moment in time”
Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I’m only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown
I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains…

That too, Soma, that too… in fact, all of her songs. I remember, too, “Run to You”; from “Bodyguard”, and so many many others.
Loss. She’s gone on to sing her best loved ones yet, up there, is what I believe.

RIP. Her ex husband and her on and off boyfriend are distraught… she was 48.

Read about that too, IHM. Just found out today that we’re just a few days apart, in age. W and I that is! Makes that empathy just a bit stronger!
