Rest Now Michael Jackson




Rest now Michael Jackson
Your mission is accomplished


What would Motown be without “...I'll be theeeeere!”
Or “Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, I never can say goodbye...”

Would Christmas celebrations be complete without
“Give Love on Christmas Day”

What song would I listen to
In the privacy of my bedroom when I was young
If not to “One Day in Your Life”

What would give me fond memories of my high school days
If not “Rock with You” or “Don't Stop Till You Get Enough”

What dance would I try and even those prison inmates in YouTube
If “Thriller” did not come out
What song would I listen to for soothing
If not “Lady in My Life”

What would give gangsters a lesson
Without “Beat it”
And to the careless in bed
What would we sing to them if not “Billie Jean”

What would music videos be like now
Without “Black or White” or “Do You Remember the Time”

What would motivate me to make a difference
If not for “Man in the Mirror”
With “...If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that CHANGE!!!”

These and hundreds, thousands more Michael Jackson, you have accomplished

Where will artists of today learn their style
Without you

Who will be next? Who will God entrust a task so great
And stress and pressure so tremendous

Your reach penetrated hearts around the world
Your accomplishment so envied
Many want to reach what you have trod
Do they realize what they are asking for?


So go now Michael Jackson
You now deserve to be in God's bosom

I love this Pam! Michael's passing gave us a void, only
God can fill it now. So sure Michael is on his way there, like all of us too, one day in "our" lives ... But for now, we remember Michael with LOVE! The way he touched us. Okay, he wasn't a genius, he seemed to dislike himself , an involuntary disorder, he was so vulnerable, like all of us ordinary mortals.

Addenda:The promo version of "she's out of my life". & mea culpa , Michael gets hurt with Jacko, but really its an endearing term, but let's respect his wishes.
