Michael Jordan

There is a man,
so caring, and kind,
I guess one of the finest,
one could ever find.
He writes amazing poetry,
and he helps everyone,
he is known as Michael,
California's son....
Now an author,
his books are great,
by chance I know him,
just call it fate...
Ready to help,
he makes the time,
although he is busy,
composing rhymes.
He loves his family,
it is revealed in his poems,
and if you are in his life,
it's a blessing to know him.
Thank you Michael,
for being my friend,
with your amazing talent,
you will always win...

This is like a whisper in the night. It hovers dangerously close to a greeting card, but you overcome that rather well with your tight, terse lines that toughen the sentiment for the reader. It reads well. Good job! GK P.S. Just to tell you, the movie in question? HOOSIERS from 1986 which I have always enjoyed and has seen it's reputation grow in thepassing years and deservedly so. Regards, Gerard.

I'm at a loss for words Christy. You know I came out of Prison determined to make it in life and do all I could think of to help others. It's hard to let go of all you have ever known and totally change the person you are. I have been blessed with an adoring wife, fantastic children and a whole support group of wonderful friends, especially the ones on this site. Thank you and God bless
