A L O H A !
When Aretha sang, our souls answered.
The 60's were tough times as well
as amazing times in America.
Lots was striving for expression.
There was violent push-back too,
War at home and abroad.
Life was not safe for many people.
But when Aretha sang, we felt safe;
We felt like the Good was
always on the move.
The Good was winning.
Thank You Aretha Franklin.
