The thing which we call beauty can fade in the evening .light,
Or forever remain in our mind's eye but only as a memory.

A voice as an angel descended from heavenly realm.

Forever and indelibly tatooed in our beating hearts.
So,Whitney,rest in peace,for all I can give to you,
Darling of America, are these broken lines of syntax.
