A lot of love lost!  Michael Jackson was loved around the WORLD!  The sad thing was that he was never given the opportunity to love himself.  He was not given the opportunity to love the deep caramel skin he was in, the shape of his nose, his face, and his beautiful curly hair.  He was a cut and adorable little boy, but he listened to certain people as to what kind of appearances were acceptable.  But what he didn't realize was that it didn't matter what he looked like, his music was universal, men and women would drop to their knees, scream and cry at his concerts.  They cried while he was alive, and they are crying for him today.

 

A stolen and lost childhood forever!

 

Friends were animals; much kinder than many of those called human, were all he had.

 

Forced into money, money took over and what was most important to a child was lost, gone, and never to be found for that little boy, because a boy has to grow to be a man, and he never got that opportunity.

 

"Who will cry for the little boy, lost and all alone?
Who will cry for the little boy, abandoned without his own?
Who will cry for the little boy? He cried himself to sleep.
Who will cry for the little boy? He never had for keeps.
Who will cry for the little boy? He walked the burning sand.
Who will cry for the little boy? The boy inside the man.
Who will cry for the little boy? Who knows well hurt and pain.
Who will cry for the little boy? He died and died again.
Who will cry for the little boy? A good boy he tried to be.
Who will cry for the little boy, who cries inside of me?"

When we realize that our power to forgive, is even greater than the apology we may never receive, our lives will then be free to fill with love and joy!

An incredibly apropos poem when reflecting on Michael's life.  It seems like he gave so much and even though he made millions, still received so little.
