Poem by Erik Herrera in honor of Michael's 54th birthday.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the moment that he became known, 
Michael Jackson made a difference
With his music, his magic. 
As he became a living legend,
He used the magic of music to make this world a better place.
He touched millions upon millions.
His talents, his soul, 
His human being was a blessing to us from God.
There were haters along the way,
That tried to accuse him of hideous crimes. 
But his true fans knew the truth.
There were haters out there that tried to break him,
But through God, Michael was able to overcome them all.
There hasn't been an entertainer 
With such a heart as his, 
Such a talent as his, 
And there never will be again. 
Some people considered him as weird, 
But as they old saying goes:
You never know what you got til you lose it.
Michael Jackson was a gift to this world.
Only his true fans saw this.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!

May your light shine among us from Heaven,

R.I.P.
