The heavens have shone upon us
Sending the most beautiful inspiration to our world
She was blessed with the talents that many dream of
but can never have
This inspiration made music for all to hear
the young, the old... everybody
She danced, she sang, she made people smile
There wasn’t a thing she couldn’t do
She was the one to light up a room
The one to touch everybody
yet the one to make everybody cry
the heavens have taken her back now
but I don’t understand why?
She inspired and moved everybody
She gave us a piece of her heart
We all know that she was the greatest
The one filled with beauty, passion, love, grace
the perfect idol this world has ever known
I still don’t understand why?
Her love was unconditional
Her music inspirational
She was GOLD
I begin to understand
This form of a goddess has blessed us with strength
and courage
She wanted the world to know
that dreams are endless and can come true
This was her message
to all those who did not believe
We musn’t be selfish
We have to let her go
Little did we know
that heaven was missing an angel
Its their turn to be touched by her
Its their turn to be blessed by her
Its their turn to experience
the one and only

Rest In Peace Aaliyah
Rest in peace Aaliyah,
your time here has gone.
Rest in peace sweet child,
your memories will live on.
In our hearts we'll cherish you,
and in daily life we'll surely miss you.
Rest in peace Beautiful One,
your time here has gone.

Aaliyah now that you're gone I don't know how this world will be
without our Queen. You were my inspiration and other young girls all
over, you taught me to live life to it's fullest because accidents can
happen at anytime for no reason. When I heard the news I ignored it
because If I found it true I would never be the same. I would do
anything to bring you back. The only memory I have of you is your
music. Aaliyah even though your gone you will always be in my heart and
you will never be forgotten. Not only did we loose an important person
in the music bussiness, but we lost a great friend. Aaliyah I wish I
had the chance to meet you but our time will come. Aaliyah you will
always be the best and no one can take that away from your fans.
Rest in Peace

In memory of Aaliyah Haughton, R.I.P., 1979-2001
Like a star, you were born in the young nation,
Showing your beats for da streets,
And hot like fire, came here to give love.
I tried to write a four page letter but i couldn´t, If
your girl only knew that you were the one i give my
heart to...!
You has been more than a woman,
An inspiration for all the ladies in da house, and
those were the days in which we rocked the boat with
you.
But we need a resolution, because i refuse to believe
that you will be here never no more, and and your
never comin´ back
So throw your hands up, because Aaliyah is in a
beautiful place: the heaven, where everything´s gonna
be alright, i´m sure it can be, aren´t you?
Here we are, with our hearts broken, triying to make a
journey to the past to come and rescue you, but we
can´t...
So, what if we try again? Aaliyah says “everything´s
gonna be alright, i care for you...”.
And that´s true, forever babygirl.
Love & Peace.

A Tribute to My Sister
What was Aaliyah really in rush to get home to?
It was not Gucci, Fendi, Louie, Prada, or Platinum.
It was LOVE.
The Love of a Mother, Father, Brother, and the love of Damon.
All people who knew her as Aaliyah the person.
Not the R&B singer/actress.
She was only 22 years old.
But at such a tender young age she got the picture.
Love is all we need.
She lost her life—not knowing the pilot was a crackhead.
Not knowing the plane was too crowded.
The one thing on her mind was LOVE!
Our Father, OMNIPOTENT GOD, realized she got it—THE BIG PICTURE!
LOVE.
He took her home.
An angel in disguise she was.
My sister—AALIYAH—rest, rest, rest.
Everlasting love is yours forever.
Love is Love.
Your earthly sister,
Big Moe

For Aaliyah,
Looking back in what's a silent memory now
She was the best in all, she did it anyhow
She saved the music life
from the morning 'till the night
We all love her so, I hope she knows
we do, in every way she goes
Looking back in our silent memory
I'm sure this was not supposed to be her destiny
She was born to be a star
and she really came that far
Why this stop, cause we all love her love
It's never been enough
She was the one for me
why did she had to leave
She has lived a lovely life
Why is she not alive
We all wonder why
why did she had to die
Looking back on a smile
she brought us before, if only for a while
Now she had a sad end
Terrible that that's the way it went
We all wonder why
why did she had to die...
(Aaliyah, you'll always stay in my memory...

Aaliyah
You gave us joy, you gave us happiness
you were an inspiration~
you were a singer, an actress- a true entertainer
who emerged with grace, beauty and all around
talent~
it is hard to believe you were taken from us so suddenly just only moments
ago
for you had so much life and projects in you yet to show and share with
the world~
we are shocked, hurt, angry and depressed
that you are no longer with us~
we've fussed, cried and tried to analyze
why you and your crew became the chosen few~
for as humans, to not have you present is hard to
digest
but we know this is acceptable
for if we did not mourn and hurt over you we
would not be human~
as a spirit now you have become part of the
earth's cycle
your energy helps earth spin on its axis and your energy
continues through
technology~
we feel your spirit through your music as your voice sound waves pass over
our ears
thus we will reminisce and celebrate it with our
peers~
but as a person Aaliyah, you will never be
forgotten
you will be missed for all eternity~
Aaliyah you were "hot like fire"
a fire that will never die in our minds.

The first letter of each line starts with a letter in Aaliyah's name. Thus spelling her name with every section: A.A.L.I.Y.A.H.
As days go by, confusion fills the air
Avoidable tragedies show life just ain't fair
Laughter is quieted by the drops of tears
In and around all of our humble ears
You are safe now, safer then ever before
Arms of eternity embracing your soul
Having waited 22 years at the door
Air is the thin line between you and this human life
As we search for a way to end this terrible strife
Love left behind from your short time on earth
Is all we have left from you until our re-birth
Years must pass before we see your soul so smooth
And we anxiously await the radiance
Heavenly bodies surrounding your every move
A million songs about you are sure to come
A million songs too many about your years being so young
Life is short, you said treasure every day
Including the one when you sadly passed away
Your life was and still is a true celebration
And this we must remember
How can we forget you, throughout every nation?
A lifetime passes in a blink of an eye
A blink that remains on the day that we die
Legacies of many are sometimes forgotten
Instead, yours shall be wrapped in heavenly cotton
Yet as we persist in the conclusion of time
Are we sure we will see you? Yes! Oh!
How you will shine!

"Remember Her"
Remember her laughter, her hopes and dreams,
her smiles as she leaves her
family and friends.
On the night the Angels came and took her hand,
We cried as she left for an unknown land, but
heaven rejoiced as she came into sight,
for her soul was a diamond,
shinning so bright.
The rain speak of tears and thunder of pain, but
soon the sun will shine again. As the days
go by and the world moves on, we know
your sill here, you'll never be gone.
Rest In Peace Baby Girl!!

Rise and Fall
By: Anthony W.
"Life is precious, you live you die, then we all cry, but why Lord was it she
you took, not knowing what or how it would look, people embraced it, but you
know my mind will never erase it. A young woman who had talent, you were the
one who gave it to her, why Lord did you have to take it away. I sit and pray
to you every day to protect my family and friends and keep peace, you still
take life and we all never will cease, to find the resolution, as this young
woman Aaliyah said, are you that somebody she exclaimed, now she knows
because she's in heaven. Lord you took a soul that was precious, why when we
pray you sometimes neglect us... I will never understand, but you know why .
In the end, Even the Best of us will die. R.I.P. Aaliyah, you will never be
forgotten, you will always be missed, like the sweet kiss your mother always
gave you, or the good times you had with your friends, I know now how its
gonna end"
Rest in Peace...

You Will Be Missed Forever
From: "cubana91@hotmail.com"
*Poem 4 Aaliyah*
No words can express how you made us feel, you always kept everything real. We all will miss you, we will miss your heart of gold
you left us all, and your life ahead untold.
You were kind beyond words, and your beauty shined in every song.
We still can't believe our babygirl's gone.
And although you're in a better place, what you were cannot be erased.
You were the epitome of our essence, you blessed this world with just your presence.
Now that your gone all we can do is pray in hopes of seeing your face another day.
You truly were one in a million, your memory will live on and on and on.
-We Love You Aaliyah Haughton-

* Aaliyah Is Gone :( *
We stood in awe when she sang
We gazed when she moved
We adored when she was just *Aaliyah
We cry now that she's left
We feel pain as we comprehend
she's not coming back
We are left to mend our hearts
that she has broken.
We remember the sweet memories
as we try to move on
As , now we realize that
Aaliyah is gone. :( :( :( :(

"Mysterious Angel"
Twas once a young girl
who wanted a challenge
Singing her world
and her given talent
She graced the world
with her gentle voice
Being a diva
was her ultimate choice
One in a million she
truly was
Inspirational value to
all of us
Age aint nuthin but
a number she said
because it was
her music she
wanted everyone
to accept
Highest most exalted one
her name meant
and we know by her
voice she was Heaven
sent
Our mysterious angel
we love her so
We constantly wonder
why she had to go
But we have to remember
she is still here
We remember that when
we shed our tears
One sweet day
we will meet again
Hear her sing again
in the promised land
Mysterious angel
we miss you much
we know we cant
just reach out and
touch
But we feel you here
we know you are
you always were a
shining star
Mysterious Angel
most beautiful seen
we constantly dread
the loss of our queen
