On Houston's Funeral



Whitney Houston's funeral is finished.

The funeral is over. Many sang,
And Kevin Costner spoke, and were it best
To lay the singer in eternal rest
Within her early church, many a pang
To many would it bring. The governor
Chris Christie flew the flags at half a mast.
(He caught some anger for it.) If at last
She’d found a peace that she’d been looking for,
The heady throng of mourners here suggest
That she had left a bit of peace behind.
To any troubles, memories are blind,
But to her kindness, memory is best.
The mourners thus her memory abide,
In yet another day when music died.
