Whitney Houston 1963-2012

Whitney was an amazing person. She had such a beautiful voice and was lucky enough to become famous and be recorded so we can remember her forever in song and film. The irony of her life was her hit the Greatest Love of All. It talks about the “beauty we possess inside”, “at least I live as I believe”, and “find your strength in love.” But, Whitney did not have the strength to say no to drugs and alcohol, to stay away from abusive people, and to see the beauty she possessed inside.

I am sure she is in God’s loving arms now for the inspiration she left us in her music. God bless you Whitney.

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 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’ll live 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

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

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I’ll live 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

And if by chance, that special place
That you’ve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love.

– Whitney Houston
