Poem

An Icon known as Michael
Such a shy and gentle child
Arriving all singing all dancing  
Where he came from nobody knew
For he was from another World
Too fragile for ours, he became unfurled

He danced like his idol Fred Astaire
Loving the voice and moves of James Brown
A perfectionist, unique in every performance
He was always the Talk of the Town

His dancing was flawless, exciting to behold
His singing was truly divine 
Losing his childhood the price that he paid
Only happy when performing live on stage

How sad no one cared enough
How sad there was no one to trust
To give him advice when he took the wrong road
No one showed him the love
That on others he bestowed

How sad not to love himself
As he changed the face God had given 
So often I have asked why 
Is there someone who should be forgiven

His father too harsh and controlling
For a gentle, shy soul like Michael
Destroying the love he should have for himself
Michael wanted to change, but didn’t know why
Becoming a man, he didn't even know
His spirit destroyed, so sad to see him go 

To bring you back in a heartbeat 
So healthy and alive
To hear you sing and dance again
To take away your hurt and pain 
Would be a dream come true

To watch you perform one more time
You were taken away far too soon
Are you now dancing up on the Moon?
Moonwalking each day with ET 
For MJ and ET my two favorite boys 
Now together, forever, for eternity

Written for competition - Who would you bring back in a heartbeat
