Whitney Houston Proclaimed Lifetime Policy Statements

Whitney, looking up to the heavens

If Whitney Houston was an angel, then her role was to trumpet messages divine and, sista did proclaim policy statements – guidelines for humans; captured especially in three of her songs. 

“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. 

 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or First Lady Michel Obama could have been delivering those lines at a Beijing type conference and be spot on.  That verse is easily a mantra for The United Nations Children’s Fund UNICEF, or any Human Service organization in charge of the welfare of children.

It is a course charted in that famous speech by former Ethiopia Emperor Haile Selasie’s at the UN with the quotes beginning with the words, “Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned.”… A speech celebrated by another sadly recalled musician, Bob Marley in the song “War”

A joyful Whitney

Yet most important, Whitney Houston’s greatest hit song, The Greatest Love of All; is every loving parent’s mantra. The song directs parents to teach but let the child lead the way; give the child confidence but let the child retain that innocence. 

The story behind this song itself indicated an epiphany divine; by the writer and musician Linda Creed who was battling breast cancer and wrote the song assisted by producer, Michael Maser  to show love and strength passed on to offspring. 

This song was first sang by songstress Jane Olivor then George Benson but when the angel going by the name Whitney Elizabeth Houston took it and proclaimed it to the world, nation after nation responded, making it the number one song in most free countries in 1986 . 

Here are the rest of the lyrics to the Greatest Love of All beginning with the chorus and, see why good people of the world had little choice but be seduced and succumb to the power of words.

Everybody's searching for a hero, people need someone to look up to I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs, a lonely place to be so I learned to depend on me.

Chorus:  I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows 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.

Whitney easy like Sunday a morning

And if, by chance, that special place that you've been dreaming of leads you to a lonely place find your strength in love.
