The poem is so beautiful, it's like a song to soothe the heart. In Honor of Michael Jackson: As a youngster, I remember your tender voice and great dancing moves. We would go to parties and shacks and dance till the "break of dawn" to your music. I'm so sad that you are not here to witness the abundance of love that was always here for you. Spiritually, I know you can feel the appreciation, love, grief, and the endless celebrations of your life and music from coast to coast, national to national, country to country. You moved us to dance, laugh and sing,and placed joy in our hearts. I pray for your soul and know that you are in the Great Kingdom of God. Comfort and love to the Jackson family. I came that you may have and enjoy life and have it in abundance until it overflows. John 10:10

May God forgive him his transgressions. And may GOD comfort those who loved him. Personaly he was not my cup of tea. But I wish his soul well.

May God forgive all of us our transgessions. I was very saddened to
hear that this innocent man that was so full of love had passed.
His identity problem due to racism even though he was so talented,
and lied about to get what he rightfully earned - God has taken him to a better place away fom all the cut throat and evil beings.
He was definitely my cup of tea - flaws and all just like the rest
of us.

To the Jackson family and children

My deepest and profound sympathy go out to all of you. Don:t cry but rejoice. And the Lord shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the formers things are passed away, (Rev. 21:4)
Michael was one of the greatest Humanitarians that reach and touch people all over the world. There hasn't been another person in the world that has done as much as Michael, besides Elvis and Diana.

The Lord gave Michael to you for fifty years and to the world forty-five of those years.in that time he worked by the seat of his brow; using every talent that the good Lord gave him.

Michael will be missed and remembered for ever. The love and empathy he had for his fellow man of all colors. was outstanding. If only each person in this world would give a third of themselves like Michael what a better world this would be.

The talk and rumors just let them roll over you like water. We all have sin and fallen short of the glory of God. Michael is gone to his heavenly Father the only one he has to give an account to. Let Him Rest in Peace. May the good Lord Bless and keep you ever strong, you will be in my prayers.

An angel has gone from this place, a place in need of angels. Mr. Michael Jackson, you touched me with your angelic voice, dance, love and compassion. God sent you to do a deed and when that deed was accomplished, He took you home. May you find joy, happiness and peace with God and His angels. I will pray for the love ones left behind who will miss you for the rest of their lives. May our loving Father grant you the reward you earned and soothe the suffering of your short time with us. I will miss you and will never believe the outrageous claims made against you. Greed and envy brought you down here in this place but God has a better “PLACE” awaiting your arrival. Thank you God for a pure soul amongst us and thank you Mr. Jackson for sharing that soul with all of us.

Micheal in this world was much like the mesia, he was a king, he was real, he was love, the world did not believe, the world did not cherish him for his gift. He was so pure, so loved, so precious. I grew up knowing him. He is only 4 years older than me. I remember listening to him as a child. I an so sad he is gone. My heart is truly broken. The world should have loved him in life as they do now in death. He earned that. Good by my friend, rest in peace. I love you and miss you....

I pray that the love of God awaits the loving soul of MJ and I pray for the jackson family doing their time of sadness. For what ever our sins are God is our Judge. For those who are accusatory, and very judgemental of Michael should remember that the bible says "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. But I say People who live in glass houses should not through stones. May god bless the soul of Michael Jackson.

My heart goes out to the Jackson family and may the Lord give the peace they need to continue on and most of all to the Jackson children. Michael has always had a heart of gold when it came to the little children of the world his love and affection for these little ones were the the highlight of his life which gave him the motivation he needed to perservere and for this reason alone I will truly miss him. Michael rest in peace for all eternity,we miss you.
This poem is sooo insprirational and its also touches the heart in such a deep way, I thank God for.

I pray that Michaels' soul was saved, and he can be with the Lord and have peace. He had enough hell, his last days on earth. Remember, what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and loose his soul. Let us pray for his family.

Michael,

It is disheartening and painful to lose someone like Michael Jackson. The world loves the Jackson family and Michael in particular. Your insiration, love of children was a blessing though misunderstood by quite a few, your spirit lingers on, you are never forgotten and it might take a century to replace someone so talented, gifted like Michael. I see you in my dreams and for sure you are at a better place. God knows why He called you to Glory at the time we needed you most. May your soul rest in PERFECT PEACE.

I am in shock and may always be upon learning of your demise. There is a part of me that believed you would always be with us, how could you not be! Your extraordinary talent , your genius and your love of your fans is more than any of us ever expected. There is no one like you, no one has ever matched or come close to your talent. I can only pray for you in your current condition and be thankful that I was alive to experience the ABSOLUTE JOY you brought us. You are and will be ONE OF A KIND, an exceptional being that graces humanity. I will always remember you with Joy, Gladness, Appreciation and awe at the Genius that you so selflessly gave to the world. I am just so happy I was able to be a part of the world who received your enormous gift.

I am so heart broken. My heart aches so deeply.

Michael was certainly talented and seemed to have a gentle spirit and a kind heart. I was not a huge fan of his music. His death has caused me to question this world's emphasis on money, status, and idolizing human beings. Michael always struck me as a sad figure. Hiding behind masks, he seemed anxious and unable to find peace. Drug abuse, failed marriages nothing providing ultimate joy and peace. The point is not to demonize MJ as the personification of all that is wrong in pop culture. Rather, his life and all too early death should once again remind us that money, fame, and materialism will not bring peace, but quite the opposite. How many others have ended up similarly? Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix etc., etc. Please do not equate MJ with Jesus, or make him into some kind of messiah. He was a talented person consumed by the trappings of fame and his own, and our, human frailties. I don't think he would want you do set him up as an idol. Please just pray for his family and enjoy his music and get in touch with truth and reality.
