"So Much Love To Give"

A Poem by Karen

Like an angel shot straight down from the sky,
There was something about you we couldn't deny.
Too good for this world is what I would say.
Misunderstood from the start everyday.
You had that sparkle in your dark eyes.
So full of truth in your disguise.
Why did you have to die to live,
When you had so much Love to give?
You'd entertain us with the best of them all.
And on stage you were having a ball.
But beneath the layers of sequins and gloves
They couldn't see that you'd had enough.
Just how much they would hurt your soul,
None of us would really know.
It's not how we die, it's how we live.
You've shown us how to Love and give.
You would never take credit for all you've done.
In silence you brought the children the sun.
Behind the scenes you'd play your part,
Bringing true compassion and heart.
Never to refuse a child in need,
Why couldn't they see they cut you to bleed?
Yet you always were humble and quick to forgive.
Why didn't they let you be and just live?
I pictured you bathed in beautiful blue light,
As your soul started on it's wondrous flight.
Transformed is your visage, no more of this Earth,
But thankfully given all that you're worth.
Now it's our turn to look back in shame,
As we point fingers as to who was to blame.
Your example to follow, a life well lived.
But how much more was the Love you had left to give?
Now you've become an outline they try to fill in.
Just how much we've lost is the real sin.
We cannot change it, for the damage is done.
Everybody'd lost and nobody's won.
You're untouchable now to the poisen pen's wrongs,
And your sweet songs will go on and on.
Left to ponder this heart broken big.
Much to suffer, even more Love to give.

With much Love always Michael
