MAYA ANGELOU'S TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL JACKSON.. WE HAD HIM

Beloved.. now we know that we know nothing now that our bright and shining star slip away from our fingertips.like A Puff of summer wind. without notice our dear love can escape doting embrace to sing our songs among the stars and walk our dances across the face of the moon in the instant that we learn that Michael is gone,we know nothing no checks can tell our time and no oceans can rush our tides..with the abrupt absence of our treasures.. though we are many,each of us are we are achingly alone..piercingly alone only when we confess our Confusion can we remember that he was a gift to us,,and we did have him.. he came to us from the creator..trailing creativity in abundance..despite the anguish of life..he was shearted in mother's love and family love and survived and did more than that..he thrived with passion, humor style.. we had him..whether we knew who he was or did not know..he was ours and we were his we had him.. beautiful..delightful our eyes.he raked his hat..a slant over..his brow and took a pose on his toes.. all for us and we laughed and stomped our feet for him we were inchained with his passion.. because he held nothing..gave us all he been given Tokyo..beneath the Eiffel tower,in Ghana's Black Star Square..in Johannasburg and Pittsburg in Birmingham..Alabama and Birminghan England..we are missing Michael Jackson..but we do know we have him and we- are the world..
"“It is God himself who has made us what we are and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and long ages ago he planned that we should spend these lives in helping others” (Ephesians 2:10 LB)."
