Oh, queen of soul, Aretha Franklin - poem by Stefano Donno

Oh, queen of soul, Aretha Franklin,

Your voice was like a symphony within.

From "Respect" to "Natural Woman",

Your songs were anthems for every woman.

 

Your voice was powerful, yet full of emotion,

It stirred our souls with each new rendition.

You sang of love, heartache, and liberation,

And inspired generations with your dedication.

 

Your music was a reflection of your spirit,

Strong, resilient, and always true to your merit.

You broke barriers and paved the way,

For women to rise and have their say.

 

Oh, queen of soul, your legacy lives on,

In the hearts of those who've heard your song.

Thank you for the gift of your voice,

That continues to inspire and rejoice.
