   Michaels Story

   His childhood was forsaken
   Fame and fortune was a must
   No school or normal pastimes
   Into the limelight he was thrust
   From those who claimed to love him
   To those who loved to hate
   They couldn’t see the lost child
   Who’s talent would be his fate

   He gave us so much pleasure
   A star, a real icon
   He rearranged the music
   A new era had it’s dawn
   He changed the path of lyric
   Made the world his dancing stage
   But in his niaevete
   His critics he did enrage

   Lost and lonely in his own world
   Normality just a wish
   He created a place of love
   Where pain would be banished
   But every act of love and grace
   This man-child did bestow
   Was tainted by the people
   Who would mar his very soul

   His life was bared before us
   Every move on view to see
   The jibes and comments hurt him
   Left him broken, no self esteem
   They hounded and they cut him
   Left him bleeding in the road
   Misunderstood and innocent
   They added to the load

   He faced them with so much courage
   A warrior of grit and steel
   He played to them and gave them
   What they didn’t want to hear
   An extravaganza
   A new sight to behold
   The comeback he so yearned for
   So brave and very bold

   But God he had a new plan
   A place of gentle rest
   For this soul He loved so dearly
   And wanted just to bless
   So as in life, he left us
   Softly, didn’t make a sound
   Just gently moonwalked from the room
   To where angels are around

   Then the great big heart stopped beating
   Rhythmic feet will dance no more
   A unique voice stilled forever
   His soul now free to soar
   Happiness was elusive
   Contentment just a dream
   But now the man-child is dancing
   In heavens playing fields.

   RIP Michael Loved Always, Forgotten Never. Janet South Wales UK
