Make That Change


Magical Child
You went the distance
Captured our hearts
And made a difference

Now we know
We were part of the plan
To change the world
The destiny of man

You cried and proclaimed
Your heartache to all
And in spite of the pain
You stood tall

Your children are now
Ready to stand
Convey your messages
Do all that we can

Proclaim your love
Send it ‘round the globe
Share your story
Your truth be told

Although some will insist
You were not what we claim
We will hold fast
Carry on in your name

There is no doubt
Among those who believe
You were the Light of the World
So much more than a king

Magical Child
You showed us the way
To live and love
In a world full of hate

There were no barriers
You could not shatter
With humility, love and passion
You lived what really matters

Although some will insist
You were not what we claim
We will hold fast
Carry on in your name

Magical Child
We’ll be proud to take the stage
Now it’s our turn
To make that change

  2. Charlene dear! amazing words from a fascianting writer such as you!!

    when I watched This is it movie before, I was totally touched by the last part of the film:" Make that change"""" the part where Michael opened his arm for the finale of his song.....as its end!!!!...

    There's something unbelievable about Michael, know why?? because even if he's not anymore with us, watching him again on Dvd's and films, seemed like he's still alive!!!

    I don't ever think of that! Still giving him the wound of applause for every perforamnce he takes!!! amazing!! yes!!!!

    Michael was heaven sent! there's something different about him! He spread his good deeds all over the world, return the gratitude of kindness to his Fans! There's no Entertainer alive so far who can ever match him! He was truly ONE OF A KIND!!!

    A MAGICAL CHILD WHOSE FULL OF LOVE!
    """Are you watching right now from heaven,
    Walking by the garden, with running river below,

    there's no more pain but happiness,
    Free from troubles so to speak,

    will you come back again to finish the task
    wipe our tears away, and say, hey It's OKAY!

    do you miss the world, your life with us?
    But I hear you'd say," I'm with GOD...
    It's your turn , don't delay,
    MAKE THAT Change!!!!!
    Make that change now!!!

    p.s.
    Charlene the pics are AWESOME!!!keep it up!!!

  3. LG Renate -
    Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment. I too am so grateful that he lived among us and that we were so blessed to have him here for most of our lives. I don't know if I will ever stop missing him. Every single day, I wish he could return to us, and I wish I could tell him all the things I didn't have the opportunity to say when he was here. I say them in my prayers, but I would love to look into his eyes and tell him how I feel. Now, I must live my life to carry on his work in the world - this is the way I can express my love and gratitude for everything he gave to the world while I stood by and watched. It is a blessing and an honor to do this.
    God Bless You with much love and light!

  4. Dear Maria,
    Thank you for your kind words about my words! You are very sweet & generous. ;~)

    Man In the Mirror has been one of my favorite songs of Michael's from his entire career. I say "one of" because there are so many! But this one touches me deeply every single time I hear it or see him perform it with such passion! He gave from the depths of his soul every time he performed this song and he would be totally spent at the end, eyes glazed over, hair a mess, spreading his arms wide and lifting his face to the heavens in prayer for God's gift which came through him. He was God's vessel - the instrument through which God communicated his messages and his deep love for all of us. We have been so blessed to have lived during his lifetime on this earth! You're so right, he was truly one of a kind and will never be matched!!

    I LOVE your poem!!! It makes me smile - thinking of his happiness and him being with God. That is his place now, and he will continue to live on through us! That's why it is so important for us to Make That Change...and make it NOW!!!

    God Bless your sweet spirit, my friend!
    With LOVE ~ Charlene ~
