This is just my emotions and I apologize that it's not very good but I am stunned at the news today and it's like the feeling you get when you look up at the stars and it is completely dark and your mind is going...wtf? But Just my way to say goodbye to such an amazing person who touched millions.

Jolene...Sweet Jolene

There has never been

Nor will ever be such a Queen

The dimples

The amazing hair

The amazing flair..

Nothing compares

To the humility of such a gentle soul

You made me cry

After all these years gone by.

If there is a god

Then he is certainly not fair

I never thought 8o is too young

til today

and today feels less bright

But thank you so much

No more cup of ambition

No more 9 to 5.

But the stars tonight

just seem so bright

How lucky they are.
