Premium Member Number 42

I am reminded of his legacy,
    Through the media events.
        Where he opened doors
            In a professional sport,
                among many malcontents.

While learning about his struggles,
    I became certainly more impressed.
        As he surpassed in my mind,
            Images of Bo and Deion . . .
                He was truly blessed.

I don't know of any other, that
    Could skillfully perform in so many ways.
        While a collegian, with Football, Basketball,
            Baseball and Track & Field . . . 
                I mean Jesus, there's only so many days!

As an athlete, receiving the 
    Accolades, while garnering the
        Endless, admiring looks.
            He must have mastered the
                Space-Time continuum, if he
                     Was ever to hit the books.

This is why #42, has moved up
    The list, as the GOAT to number one.
        Since he was responsible for so much
            More, than his ability to outrun.
