His Life
COMING SOON!

The Fate
Outside, there is a beautiful day,
But inside, so many feelings I cannot say.
I miss you a lot more than words can express.
Your dark, gelled hair, I wish to caress.
Your gentle eyes, your caring face;
Never again on the TV will they grace.
I know it's selfish, but I wish you were here,
Always to have and to hold so dear.
Oh how I wish you could whisper to me and say,
"Don't worry, the view is perfect
And everything is okay."
Some might call me obsessive
Some might call me a freak,
But almost everytime I think of you,
A tear rolls down my cheek.
I know we'll be 2gether again
But it's too long of a wait.
'Cause you and me 4ever, Mike
I thought it would be fate.
I dreampt of being on TRL,
With you and 2gether hosting the show.
And even though I'm across the country,
To New York, New York, I'd go.
I'd go there with a smile 'cause
I had the perfect sign.
You'd let me up because it said,
"Michael is forever mine."
We'd fall in love right on the spot;
It would be love at first sight.
We'd always be forever ours,
Always holding each other tight.
Your busy schedule, and greuling hours,
Would sometimes get between us,
But because it was fate, the perfect fate,
We would always have our trust.
Along the road, we might get married,
And maybe had a kid,
And we could always tell them stories about
The inspiring things you did.
But now my dream has perished
Like a cloud up in the sky,
Because it was your fate, the horrible fate,
That God chose you to die.
Now everyone is greiving
And we cannot stop the pain,
But with every day that passes,
There will be more and more hope I gain.
You had a charity, you contributed,
And you helped so many kids,
But until after you passed,
I didn't realize how much you actually did.
We try not to greive of your death,
But to think of you life and smile,
And be glad that God let you stay in the Earth
For more than just a while;
To let us be able to know you
And to let you inspire so much.
But you don't know how much that I'd give back,
Just to feel your touch.

Thank You
I love you, I love you,
From the bottom of my heart.
So tell me why, oh why,
Must be always be apart?
God took you away, too quickly, too soon.
Never again will I hear you croon.
You accomplished your life dream faster than anyone I will ever know;
But I still don't understand why you had to go!
You had so much potential, so much going for you,
So many more things to see and do.
I'll try not to cry, try not to shed tears,
I'll just be thankful you had 16 long years.
You met everyone - Britney, Hasselhoff, the Pope,
And you taught me to never give up on love, faith, or hope.
So thank you, thank you,
From the bottom of my heart.
For someday we will meet again,
And never be apart.

I'll Remember You
Mike, you were the greatest person to me.
And I do not think another could be,
Kinder than you, in any way.
I'll think about you, each night and day.
Your spirit will live always, inside of my heart,
No matter how far, or how many miles apart.
It pains me to write this, with every word,
Cause you've gone off and flown away, just like a bird.
Your time here was short, as everyone does know,
But God thought He needed you, and you had to go.
The guys of 2Gether must really miss you,
Cause everyone else does; I know that it's true.
Michael, I'll miss you with every breath I take.
I'll try to be strong and find the right choices to make.
You were in pain Mike, this I know,
But why, oh why Mike, did you have to go?
You've never known how much you mean to me until now,
But you don't get to see my smile - all that is there is a frown.
Please Mike, watch over the fans; help us be strong,
For if you help us do this, your memory will live long.
We'll never forget all of the great things that you did,
And wow, to think, you were only a kid.
You didn't give up; you just lost a long war.
This is what makes me miss you more and more.
Mike, I really do try to be strong,
But when I start to think of you, my dry eyes don't last for long.
And now, Michael, I'm trying hard not to cry,
But just remember this is not the end, and not a 'goodbye'.
As I sit here, and wonder if you're doing okay,
Let's just call this poem as 'see you again, one day'.
So here comes the time for my poem to end,
But this is NOT the end of you, my friend.
You may not be with us here, today,
But trust me, we'll be 2Gether again, someday.
