Karen Carpenter (March 2, 1950-February 4, 1983)
I heard your songs on the radio, bought the record played it on my stereo......
There, from my car radio came the song,
and I listened with such intensity.
She sang of feelings soft and strong,
those gentle words enchanted me.
Every record which was released,
I would purchase and played it endlessly.
Each new article till her life ceased,
I read and absorbed in their totality.
She lived in her dreams, a soul so shy,
and strength eluded her tender heart.
Her love ballads would make me cry,
I was her fan right from the start.
I adored the way her songs would flow,
her words rang true and never lied.
She was all things which I cherish so,
it was a tragedy when she died.
I still at times drag my records out,
recalling a more tranquil time and day,
just hearing her voice and turning about,
and drawing comfort in some strange way.
You will be missed by those like me,
those who saw the depth and caring,
those who enjoy a gentler, kinder melody,
thank you dear one, for sharing.
