The world has lost a goddess,
A person so divine,
Who could sing of sorrow or loss,
But still leave you with a smile.
***
Tonight when I look up,
The world will feel dimmer,
But the sky will be bright,
As god adds one more rhinestone out there.
***
That rhinestone will shine bright,
Like her time upon this earth,
And twinkle every night,
To remind us that she's there.
***
She once said of rhinestones,
"A rhinestone shines just as good as a diamond",
And to us she was a diamond,
Shining in her rhinestones,
***
In this sad time,
Listen to only one person,
From the words of Dolly herself,
"Smile - it increases your face value."
