Whitney’s voice has been there for so many moments in my life. She will missed but I am certain that her voice will live on. Her power, her sensitivity, and her kindness will echo in my heart and soul forever.
You Light Up My Life was the first dance at my wedding but hearing her sing The Greatest Love of All is the song that has played over and over again on my IPod and in my mind.
The power of her voice singing that song, gave me strength when I didn’t have much. Whitney and her voice was truly a gift from God that will live on forever.
In honor of Whitney Houston and her life, I would like to share the words of the song that helped me so much. I suggest that you listen to her sing them if you really want to hear the power that she gave to all who listened and will listen to her sing this song.
Greatest Love Of All
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well
And let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty
They possess inside
Give them a sense of pride
To make it easier
Let the children’s laughter
Remind us how we used to be
Everybody’s searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone
Who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me.
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone’s shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I lived as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all.
Thank you Whitney, for all that you shared with the world. Rest in peace.
