King of My Heart

I’ll bring you anything you ask for

Nothing is beyond my reach

I’ll gather the stars

Lay them at your feet

Or place them gently on your head

Like a crown of jewels fit for a king

Diamonds and rubies

Sparkling and shimmering

I want to change the world

Only for you

Tell me what to do

Your wish is my command

Anything you ask for

I will make a plan

To love the children

Seek the truth

Heal the planet

What must I do

To see this through

I’ll bring you anything you ask for

Nothing is too high

I’ll pull the moon down from the sky

Place it on your pillow

To keep you warm at night

I’ll sing you a lullaby

And hold you ‘til the morning light

King of my heart

I will never part

At our angel.
Your smile was bright as
the sun.
Your eyes sparkled as
two stars.
Your heart was far as
the sea.
Your love infinite.
Then you must go.
Your life now wears the
bright colors of the
Rainbow.
You broadest your
Wing, and are
flown at these
Elsewhere in the light
gone up, which we the
Call paradise.
We love you infinitely Michael.

Thank you all for your supportive comments. Also thank you to Renate Richter for sharing your own beautiful poem - just lovely!

Michael certainly does bring us to that place in our hearts where we can feel his immense love for us and we long to return it. Our words and our actions are the best ways we can do that now...for him...for the children...and for the world! We must continue to share his love in every way we can.

God Bless you for being here to "reflect" with me!

Welcome to MJ Reflections!

Thank you for taking the time to visit and read some of my reflections and poems. This site is inspired by the life and spirit of Michael Jackson and is dedicated to his loving memory.

My hope is that you will find a little bit of inspiration in these pages, an extra boost of light for the journey. A journey many of us have been blessed to find ourselves on because of this one amazing human being who shared his heart and soul and genius with us for 50 years.

Following his death in the summer of 2009 I felt compelled, as many of you have, to learn more about Michael, the man, the child prodigy, the musical genius who provided the soundtrack to nearly every decade of our lives, the mysterious 'recluse' about whom much had been written by the media, the magnetic and electrifying entertainer who drew millions to his concerts all around the world, the iconic superstar who could not be seen in public without creating mass frenzy, and most of all, the global humanitarian who gave selflessly from all that he had been given in order to make a difference in the world.

What I have discovered on this God-directed path has had a profound effect on me personally and spiritually. It has changed my life forever. The Gift I have received is the awareness of Michael's brilliance, the immense light which radiated from deep within and was the essence of who he was. His brilliance cast a glaring spotlight on all the darkness in this world, opening our eyes to the realities of the injustice and suffering happening all around us - things we turned a blind eye to because we believed they had nothing to do with us. I whole-heartedly believe that Michael's purpose for being here was to show us the stark and ugly reality of our own indifference as a human race.

God's messages of love, peace, unity, justice, and caring for our planet and the children, were all intended to garner the attention of as many of us as possible through this most unexpected and unconventional spiritual messenger named Michael Joseph Jackson. When you think about it, what better way than through the universal language of music, a medium that would reach millions of young people all around the world? After 4 decades of entertaining us, Michael's messages have reached multiple generations, including a new generation of "fans" since his death. When God decides to send a powerful message, our Creator doesn't mess around! And this one took 50 years to gestate... God also has infinite patience!

The sheer number of people whose hearts and lives have been affected by Michael Jackson's presence on this earth is astounding and will undoubtedly never be matched. What a tremendous difference he made! Those of us who have received this precious Gift must carry his messages of love and peace always. It's the only way to effect the change that is so urgently needed. It's up to us. The Gift must be shared!

Sometimes, for me, the responsibility that goes with receiving this Gift feels so huge and daunting. I get a little shaky and wonder if I can really do all that I've been called to do. From what I've heard, many others have felt the same way at times. This is why we must support each other with our love and light - do everything we can to lift up and encourage one another on this journey.

We each have our own gifts which we bring to this mission - gifts that have been awakened or newly discovered since Michael's passing. Many of us have been called to use these gifts to share the message and inspire others. That, my friends, is what this blog is all about. If you are touched by any of my writings or if you have a reflection of your own to share, I invite you to leave a comment, share the blog with your friends, and say a prayer that others may also be inspired by the words that are written here. I welcome any and all comments that are given in the spirit of love and respect.

May God bless you on your path to making a difference in this world!

With LOVE and HOPE for a better tomorrow,

~ Charlene ~

Magical Child

Once there was a child and he was free
Deep inside, he felt the laughter
The mirth and play of nature's glee
He was not troubled by thoughts of hereafter
Beauty, love was all he'd see

He knew his power was the power of God
He was so sure, they considered him odd
This power of innocence, of compassion, of light
Threatened the priests and created a fright
In endless ways they sought to dismantle
This mysterious force which they could not handle

In endless ways they tried to destroy
His simple trust, his boundless joy
His invincible armor was a shield of bliss
Nothing could touch it, no venom, no hiss

The child remained in a state of grace
He wasn't confined in time or place
In technicolor dreams, he frolicked and played
While acting his part, in Eternity he stayed

Soothsayers came and fortunes were told
Some were vehement, others were bold
In denouncing this child, this perplexing creature
With the rest of the world he shared no feature
Is he real? He is so strange
His unpredictable nature knows no range
He puzzles us so, is he straight?
What's his destiny? What's his fate?

And while they whispered and conspired
Through endless rumors to get him tired
To kill his wonder, trample him near
Burn his courage, fuel his fear
The child remained just simple, sincere

All he wanted was the mountain high
Color the clouds, paint the sky
Beyond these boundaries, he wanted to fly
In nature's scheme, never to die

Don't stop this child, he's the father of man
Don't cross his way, he's part of the plan
I am that Child, but so are you
You've just forgotten, just lost the clue

Inside your heart sits a Seer
Between his thoughts, he can hear
A melody simple but wondrously clear
The music of life, so precious, so dear

If you could for one moment know
This spark of creation, this exuisite glow
You would come and dance with me
Kindle this fire so we could see
All the children of the Earth
Weave their magic and give new birth
To a world of freedom with no pain
A world of joy, much more sane

Deep inside, you know it's true
Just find that child, it's hiding in you.

~ Michael Jackson, Dancing the Dream, 1992

Circle of Life

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
Theres more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give

In the circle of life
Its the wheel of fortune
Its the leap of faith
Its the band of hope
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars

There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

In the circle of life
Its the wheel of fortune
Its the leap of faith
Its the band of hope
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

Lyrics by Elton John
