A Gift Poem by Kathryn BecknerOssman

What we have lost can never be regained
From no other person will we be so entertained

The beautiful light that took the world by storm
The art of music he completely transformed

From the top of his fedora to the tips of his loafers
With leaps and bounds he broke all of the barriers

To dance like Astaire, he aspired
The moves of Brown, he acquired

The magic of Michael started in his heart
Love for the world and the children he’d impart

This unparalleled gift that was given to us
Though gone, we'll continue to love nonetheless
