Ten years ago on June 25, 2009 we said good-bye to Michael Jackson. His memory lives on in the hearts of his many fans. Below are some tributes to our beloved Michael.

I’m There Inside Your Heart

Right now we’re in a different place
And though we seem apart
I’m closer than I ever was
I’m there within your heart

I’m with you when you greet each day
And when the sun shines bright
I’m with you when the sun sets too
I’m with you every night

I’m with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two
And if a tear should start to fall
I’ll still be there for you

And when that day arrives
That we will no longer be apart
I’ll smile and hold you close to me
Forever in my heart.

The poem below was modified to say "Michael" instead of the author's original word 'uncle'.

Our Michael

Kind, loving, generous,
cheeky, playful, adventurous.
Full of laughter, full of fun,
could get a smile from anyone.
Michael,
When God gave us gifts
he tried to be fair,
but when we got you
we got more than our share.

In this next poem, I've changed the author's original words of "she", "her" to "he","him", "his".

Love And Go On

You can shed tears that he is gone
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you cant see him.
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he's gone
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back
or you can do what he'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
~David Harkins

Our Love For You Still Shines Bright!

The video below is one that I made especially for marking the 10th anniversary of Michael's passing. The lyrics to the song are so true and fit Michael so well. Enjoy. Remember, "Love Lives Forever!"

The best and most beautiful
Things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.

~Helen Keller

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose;
All that we love deeply, becomes a part of us.
