I Can Never Say Goodbye

This poem was written out of gratitude for the spiritually gifted entertainer, lyricist and humanitarian, Michael Jackson. His musical genius attempted to bridge so many boundaries that separate mankind. I am forever thankful for all he has done in the world. His aim for peace and unity will reverberate through the century. His beautiful voice and presence will live within us all, forever. Michael Jackson, R.I.P. 1958 - 2009

From this life I have passed There is no need to be sad I am not the first and I will not be the last.
Today you may mourn as I sleep You may cry and even weep From the bondage of this world, I am free.
Know that I have lived my whole life Through my friends, I will survive Because of you, in truth, I will never die.
You are filled with great sorrow Forgotten moments now follow A brighter day awaits you all, tomorrow.
We may say, farewell to yesterday But, in your eyes, I can never say goodbye Let go of me, without asking why.
You may be hurting now As much as your heart will allow Know that all things must change; somehow.
I know that you still really care Of remembered times we use to share In your heart, I am always there. I have done all I think is right My days have no more nights I have crossed into the eternal light.
And, although I am gone You will never be alone Cause together... we are forever and ever...
