How difficult it is to be simple. Vincent van Gogh Imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein All the world’s a stage, and all …
I am unworthy to be anything other than an unknown poet.

Songs upon endless Songs
A Woman who illustrated fame
I am talking about Aretha Franklin that’s her name
Her life spans the globe
Ms. Franklin’s singing talent was a blessing starting in Church
Praises and Glory would be from the congregation
But it was the Lord’s name in appreciation
Yet Ms. Franklin’s honor followed and blossomed through the roots of her entertainment life
It was her music full of establishment and devoted commitment
Ms. Franklin’s singing even caught the attention of the White House
She sang with Pride and Dignity at President Obama’s Inauguration
Ms. Franklin’s singing was pure inspiration
But too the world it was total appreciation
But Heaven called Ms. Aretha Franklin home
It was her moment from Earth to come to Heaven to roam
Ms. Franklin was marveled with everyone she came in contact with
But now she will be communicating with Moses, Joseph, Paul, Isaac, Jacob and David
Ms. Franklin will be walking with the Biblical Greats
Heaven welcomed and the gates were opened in appreciate
So Heaven called and Ms. Franklin entered in
A soulful life that will begin
This is not Goodbye, but until we meet again
Heaven maybe so far away, but Ms. Franklin will always be in our hearts, but one day, a personal home we will all stay
Ms. Franklin will state upon your arrival, “Do you remember me”
You won’t have to think, but you will certainly see
You have inspired the world
Our hearts just swirl
Until last time, sing on as you are Heaven’s own and for all of us to come together in embrace and while on Earth get along.

Welcome to Franklin’s
You know how we do
Get on the line
If you want our barbeque
We open at eleven
And close when we are through
People from all over
Come here just like you
Welcome to Franklin’s
Pull yourself up a chair
It’s four or five hour wait
Just to get in here
We sell brisket by the pound
So tell us what’s your pleasure
Put your money down
We have a scale to measure
It’s finger licking good
This we guarantee
If you ain’t tried it, you should
Are you listening to me?
Welcome to Franklin’s
Pull yourself up a chair
It’s four or five hour wait
Just to get in here
A trip to Austin Texas
Ain’t nearly complete
Until you’ve been to Franklin’s
And had a bite to eat
We pride ourselves on barbeque
Unrivaled anywhere
It’s not bragging when it’s true
See we’re the best, I swear
We’ve become world famous
In the shortest amount of time
See we’ve only been open
Since two-thousand and nine
And we’re rated five stars
Number one in the Zagat
People drive miles in their cars
Just to be where we’re at
Welcome to Franklin’s
Pull yourself up a chair
It’s four or five hour wait
Just to get in here
Welcome to Franklin’s
You know how we do
Get on the line
If you want our barbeque
We open at eleven
And close when we are through
People from all over
Come here just like you
