              Barbra, you sweet angel,
Your upper hand sanctified for glory
           A voice guided by God's heavenly missives
         Dismissing figures of beauty.

Big nose but translucent eyes
A soulful melody, heartfelt hum
Restoring faith in wordly wonders.
    A piece of sky,
    Eyes of Yentl
     Addressing eternity
     Reverence echoing through tunnels of time
  An evergreen promise, preserved for posterity.

     Eyes of blue
    Big nose , an arch tracing her legend.
On many a summer days,
Your voice poured out beauty
Unembellished by grandeur
      Aspiring to hold the world
in thrall and silence
         A silence throbbing with passion.
    Yes, I saw the world through your blue eyes
    A sweet serenade of the soul
     A warm breeze
      A cool epiphany of the way we were.

           Beauty, o beauty
           A  mirage, a fantasy
             Not for you is beauty held
              in trembling notes
            You make eternal
              Symphonies.
           
               An era in your grasp
                A language of your own
                 A life in song
                  Barbra, sweet Barbra.
                   Making melodies in
              simple, measured tones.

           A tribute to  legendary singer /actor Barbra Streisand, an undying inspiration and messiah.
