ON SAYING.....

Posted By: MIISRAEL Bride on July 02, 2009 SONGS OF FAREWELLS TO MICHAEL JACKSON It's a farewell but not a separation. We who enjoyed his presence among us "Never Can Say Goodbye" We can say farewell and we'll "Remember the Time" because we fell in love with his gift which he shared with each of us in our own indivisual way. Mourning his death, we also celebrate his life. "In the closet" we will keep his memory of how he said he wanted "Rock wit You" and dance us into day. Our farewells will have a stong sense of " I want you back" and when we call out his name he told us to just look over our shoulder and "I'll be there" He is there in our laughter, our tears, and greatest way of our missing him. Charmed by his true life of living large we looked as he said we willl still be his baby! it didn't matter if we're "Black or White" He projected of himself because he took a look at "The Man in the Mirror" Writing of ways that he actually really did want to "Heal the World" Leaving his songs with us Michael gave us "Thriller" and shocked us all with his multi-talented genius of the greatest music album to date. Beating down the path of his songs of life he encouraged peace and love, singing and his music.. no one wanted to feel defeated just "Beat it!" Farewells songs are not always as easy as "A B C" and he told us ways to live our lives "Off the Wall" Making all of us feel young and vibrant he took us there with him in "P.Y.T." After loving him..."we can hardly love another in the manner we love him" It's all so different because it was "The Way You Make Me Feel" When some of us hurt him he went to "Hardbreak Hotel" and he told us to "Leave Me Alone" Not knowing all of his griefs he hid many of them like a "Smooth Criminal" and sang in a song that asked why? If they say Why? He said: "Tell'em that it's "Human Nature" These are many farewell songs of Michael, each of us have our own favorite and some I just can't recall right now. On saying...you can write your own farewell song of Michael's there are so many. We'll be somewhere listening and thinking that he was "Gone Too Soon." Thanks for the songs Michael....

Thanks Miisrael for this wonderfully creative blog post!! Speaking of his songs, yesterday I was at the city park where there were amusement rides for kids. The attendant was rockin' the box to Michael Jackson music. You should have seen him because he was all into it to the point I just let go myself standing in line with my son. It was a blast!!
