This may have come late, but i had to mourn. To me Whitney was more than just a singer, more than just that woman with a lovely voice. She was the voice i listened to when i needed solace. She was there while i was growing up and her serenading vocals never left my music list. so this is to say thank you Whitney and also to say my goodbye's.
I don't think i remember the first time, the first song, the place, the time,
The only thing i remember was hearing a voice so fine
A voice that ill grow up with, unrivalled, unique,
A voice that went away from earth too quick;
Whitney you were always there;
You saved all your love for us, yet we gave you very little of ours;
You just wanted to dance with somebody, instead we danced to you;
You told us of the greatest love of all, yet we enjoyed love as a contact sport;
You were searching for where broken hearts go, no one could show you the way;
You looked for that moment in time, we were always up in your business;
You were every woman in more ways than one;
You were not afraid to try it on your own;
Every one knew you loved the Lord,
And when all your strength was gone you looked to Him;
You always encouraged us saying, hold on, help is on the way;
You said, never stop looking forward to that time when you would Exhale;
You never stopped believing in you and me;
Even though you didn't know your own strength, you still asked us to count on you;
You always said love will save the day, guess it did after all;
Because we still love you like you never left; your songs still inspire like a million dollar bill;
And although you thought you have nothing, you had somebody bigger than you and i;
So adieus Nippy, we'll be thinking about you;
Because where you are, i know u'll find peace;
Thanks for making us lovers for life, teaching us to dance on the smooth edge;
and although i ask myself why it hurts so bad,
Whitney, I'll always love you.
In loving Memory

Out of all her songs, this one has stuck to me more since she left. I hope she rests in the bossom of the One she loves so much.
