Michael Jackson would still be remembered as the only King of Pop. We would surely miss him.

A somberness fell upon the Earth one day
When an Angel and a King departed us.
Gone
is the unforgettable smile of the Angel,
Gone
is the unrivaled talent of the King.
It has been told in many of song
That only the good die young;
How true that becomes
In circumstances as these
As we say our farewells
To the Angel and the King.
But now as we grasp the absence and the memories
Of these two unforgettable souls,
We should surrender the pain
With knowing they now rest peacefully
In the Heavens where there is hope to unite again.
After all is said and done
And the world still turns,
And the wind still blows,
The clouds, however, forevermore whisper
The memorable melodies of the fallen Angel and King.
