Ella sprouted
to the new world
in 1917 in Newport News,Virginia
Ella was a seed
of William and Temple Fitzgerald
Ella grew up
in Yonkers, New York
and Newport News, Virginia
Ella was fueled
by scat singing technique,
first auditioned at Apollo Theater
Ella fearlessly overcame
being a lonely flower
by living
on the streets
Ella worked
as being a singing flower
that lighten up
peoples hearts
Ella bravely faced
an eight-hour storm of competition
Ella could be described
as strong as a weed
because she never gave up
on anything
Ella established
the Fitzgerald child care center
she was always caring
for less-fortunate people
because she didn't want them
to experience
what she went through
Never gave up
on anything
Ella was best known
for her marvelous
scat singing
Ella will never
be forgotten for
her
great
scat
singing
