My Light...

What do you see when you look at me?

Do you see the inner being that I foresee?

A combination of what's to be?

Magical illuminations beyond life's belief?

What is it, you exactly see?

I have broken down barriers...
I have transgressed beyond measures...
I have given unto you, what no one will ever.....

A gift of pure love...
A heart for a heart...
A soul for a soul....
A love for a love....

Tell me, was my work done?
Did I complete..
Or was I second to none?

Sacrifice is what I gave...
Love given without a pause
That was my way to save...

I never walked away...
Striving for a brighter tomorrow...
Nothing stood in my way...

Boundaries were laid...
My message was paved...

My duty was written before I gave breath...
My soul came and did, and conquered until my untimely death...

I never gave into mortal assumptions...
No one's life was free from presumptions...

I worked hard with all my might...
I easily gave my inner light...

Did you see it?
Did you capture just a bit?

God summoned me to come home..
I followed without question

I assure you all that I am in a better place...
A place that is filled with grace..

A castle bigger, stronger, and more peaceful than Neverland...
With beauty that succeeds the Netherlands...

The place I am residing in, is complete with wonderment...
The excitment of true amazement...

Don't cry for me my dear family, friends, and fans....
My home going was written and planned...

I love you all so much MORE....
Just know,
When you get here, I have so much instore...

Remember when I said, "you ain't seen nothin' yet"...
Mark my words, I garantee and still.... I bet....

Keep me held high...
As I moonwalk across the sky...

I will never leave you, just as I've always said...
Every where you look, see me, I'm there...

To some, you were an entertainer. To others, you were an Icon.  To me, you were my childhood in it's entirety.  I remember waking up to the poster of you wearing the white with the canary yellow cardigan sweater, greeting you a hello, and kissing you before I left for school. Thinking about you and wondering what your day has turned out to be. When the last school bell rung, I darted home, excited to sit on my bed, while playing OFF THE WALL, and talking to your poster.  Giving you a full play by play of my day at school. Hey, I was in the 1st grade, who could blame me?! LOL!

This went on throughout my childhood, pre-teen, teenager years. Though I don't talk to your pictures, I just walk around talking aloud in hopes that you'd hear me in some way.  It gave me some type of relief and theraphy to do this.  Now, since your untimely demise, I've shedded so many tears.  My heart has this permanent ache in it the way it did when my mother was killed over 20 years ago.  I thought I'd never have to relive such pain, until June 25th 2009.  I never even imagined that day would come.  I hoped it wouldn't to be perfectly honest.  I just didn't want to know how I'd feel.  But you can't run from life right?  So I'm dealing the best way I know how.  And that is talking aloud to you once again.  I know you hear me and that makes it a bit easier, I guess. 

Please know Michael, that you were and always will be The Man In My Life....

I love you MORE
