Bonnie Jean
Dancing Queen,
Giving life
To three
Blossoming leafs.
Bonnie Jean
Made the team,
As an underclassmen.
Bonnie Jean
Musical tunes, sunrooms
Feeling the grooves
Bonnie Jean
Songbird Queen
Telling you the artist playing
Before they even start to sing.
Bonnie Jean
As quick as Jumping’ Jack Flash
And always generous
With what she had.
Bonnie Jean
Born in a crossfire hurricane
But she never stopped howling
At the rain.
Oh how our dear bid
Could light up a room
With one smile,
And cool it down
With one look that said,
“Don’t push your luck around.”
She laughed big,
Loved deep,
Tapped her feet,
Always in the key
Of life.
Stevie
Joni,
The Temptations
The Beatles
Gap Band,
Hall & Oates
A lump in my throat.
Lacrosse, field Hockey, twirling.
A whirling dervish
On the dance floor.
Many friends
From different walks of life.
Dear God,
Please take care of our Bondie
Make sure she has
A never-ending supply
Of mini-diet Pepsis in her freezer
That are chilled, just so.
That she has good soft shirts
And some warm PJs to wear.
Keep her in the upper room,
Because it wasn’t always easy
down here, and she deserves that.
And she deserves to keep dancing.
And as for you dear Bonnie,
You’ll Be Loved Yesterday.
