Honouring His Legacy

How many others follow his style on stage

Or copy his entertainment but never taking a page

Never follow in his philanthropy

Or be as interested in the sick as he used to be

Under the glitz of jewels shone a caring soul

Rhinestones never glittered to show his whole

I saw his soft spirit, his calmness, his love  

Not just the iconic musician but a pioneer thereof

Guinness records say he’s the most giving, but for me

His life must not be defined as his measured charity

I rather think of the changes that he brought about

Stardom was ingenious but through his clout

Lots of doors got opened to change racial disparity

Entertainers were not judged by skin colour and ethnicity

Giving never stopped even when hard times came

All his life he gave the impoverished the fruit of his fame

CD’s, DVD’s and others will preserve Michael in time and space

You’ll need emulate his giving to “make this world a better place”
