GOODBYE MICHAEL

                            From the time you were small
                            The entire world knew
                            That you were a star
                            And that star only grew
                            You shone above all
                            Not a soul could compare
                            No one could out do you
                            No one would dare
                            When you took the stage
                            You had the world at your feet
                            You were the holder of victory
                             Not a man of defeat
                            Oh yes, you were wonderful
                            Your star lit the sky
                            I cant accept that you left us
                            I cant even try
                            People tried to crush you
                            And bring shame to your name
                           Bitter of your glory
                           Jealous of your fame
                            But you were a kind gentle soul
                            And we loved you so
                           In our hearts you live forever
                           We wont let you go
                           You critics can say want they want
                            Because i know one thing
                            In the hearts of your fans
                           You will forever be king

What a touchy poem

Green eyes with a soul of love. Put this one in your book for sure. Great one and at the end how about putting a cap on King:) He was the King of Pop and his music will transcend for many generations to come. You did a great job here gal. I was not a member here in 2009 and I am glad this one came up in stream today. Loved it!! Love Mona xoxo
