Thank you, Michael for good music and lovely shows & amazing performances, you are great and you will definitely be missed. May your soul rest in peace and God will surely take care of your children and the Jackson family. Adieu, Adieu, Adieu Michael Jackson!
Michael Jackson is gone. He has his place in music history. The final parts of his life were a mess. Being beyond the generation that "grew up" with his music, I'm neither sad or glad or surprised at his passing at 50. Perhaps he'll be happier now where ever he currently may be. His energy has passed into the universe.
Thank-you for being you and crossing cultural lines as you taught us, WE are the world." With admiration and Godspeed, Jill
White Glove-
I can see it from the heaven’s up above-
Hovering the Earth, this white glove-
Symbolic of what made life a happy place-
We all will never forget your face-
You’ve touched so many lives it obvious-
Your memories will live inside of us-
And I can picture you dancing from up above-
Spreading the seed of what we call love-
Moon walking – Fancy footwork – Glittery shoes-
You’re entertaining angels with all your moves-
Forever dancing for all the heavens to see-
This is why your name will live on eternally-
For angels are messengers of what you want to say-
You want to tell the world that you are “now” okay-
And tell everyone that you’re no longer in pain-
How God is so proud to hold in heaven your name-
Displayed in golden signs and put up with much pride-
Of how one single man can hold so much inside-
Not a single moment of talent you did waste-
You’ve left many footprints for the hopeful to trace-
All the people of the world and those up in glory-
Will forever celebrate and dance with your stories-
And look up above to find this white glove-
When the world at times forgets about love-
