Joe Rosochacki - Hello Norma Jean

It’s been 47 years since you graced the earth,
Yet still photos of you are found today,
Like a Candle in the Wind,
Your beauty shines by yet a rebirth,
In some way.

Joe gave a rose every day,
John and Bobby knew about you in a carnal way,
Singing Happy Birthday to the prez,
“What CIA or FBI hit? ” the government says,
You live today.

Elton John did sing about but later changed the words for the death of Princess Di,
But your undiscovered pics came on the internet,
--mostly black and white with a lot a gray,
Your suicide is not black and white to me if I dare say.
In our hearts and minds you will not stray.

Today would’ve been your 83rd birthday,
But somehow, someone would take you away,
From the 22nd row,
You are much bigger than life; you’re Marilyn Monroe.
