I hope you enjoy it :)


MICHAEL SAVES CHRISTMAS

T'was three days before Christmas, the ranch was aglow
Stockings hung, garland strung, and of course mistletoe

Michael pleased with his efforts, he gave a long glare
Now exhausted and weary, he took to his chair

His thoughts turned to the memory, of his adventure last year
His visit from Santa, now a friend he holds dear

His ride in the sleigh, his dreams coming true
He wondered if Santa, held fond memories too

His eyelids grew heavy, slumber was near
But just as he dozed off, a voice he did hear

"Michael, my good friend, I'm sorry to wake
Your help I'm in need of, for all is at stake"

Michael opened his eyes, and there stood before him
The white bearded man, looking tired and trim

He recognized instantly, the presence in the room
Then quickly sensed also, a feeling of doom

Santa stood there hunched over, no smile on his face
Looking so sad, no jolly, not even a trace

Michael jumped to his feet, gave a hug to the latter
Alarmed by his appearance, asking what was the matter

Santa explained, the trouble, was all with the elves
All the toys and presents, still remained on the shelves

The elves, it seemed, were overcome with great sadness
The dire state of the world and its people, had stolen their gladness

A deep sorrow had spread, through the North Pole like fire
With the elves losing ambition, all hope and desire

Michael queried, "Please tell me, what can I do"
Santa replied, "I've come Michael, just because," you are you"

A perplexed look, Michael took on his face
Santa said, "I'm in need of your gift, love and grace"

Michael, now understanding, no time could he lose
He tossed off his slippers and put on his shoes

Santa took hold of his hand, tossed magic dust, touched his nose
In a blink, maybe less, to the North Pole they rose

Michael, never before, had seen such a sight
Its magnificence, held him spellbound, so filled with delight

Snow angels and reindeer, flying past him were dandy
Most impressive of all, the house made of candy

The lights were so bright, turning night into day It
rendered him speechless, no words could he say

But a task lay before him, most serious indeed
He felt right away, the greatest of need

All the elves, Santa gathered, in front the stage and
when they saw Michael, he was quickly "the rage"

They were dazzled by his dance, his spins and his twirls
He sang "BAD" in those gold pants, just for the girls

For hours, their attention, he held with his style
He closed with his beautiful rendition of "Smile"

When he finished, the elves gave him plentiful cheers
They so happily now, were freed from their fears

He greeted them warmly, with kisses and hugs They
talked and laughed with him, passing cocoa filled mugs

They soon scurried off, getting back to their tasks
With smiles so abundant, no more the sad masks

A joyous success, the elves now, all right
Santa knowing "his gift", had shown them the light

So pleased, he squeezed Michael, nearly in half" H
How do I thank you, my friend, on the world's behalf

Some games or some toys, just tell me your fun
You need only ask, and it shall be done"

The shyness in Michael, which always is there
Brought his head to a bow, to avoid Santa's stare

From the Jolly Ole' Man, did he dare ask a thing
But, there was one gift, his happiness would bring

Michael's chin in his hand, Santa raised up his head
"Come now Michael, please tell me, all can be said"

"Santa, gift me with faith, to always endure
Through hard times, doubt, and being unsure"

Now a puzzled look, on his face, Santa had
Then, a twinkle in his eye, he gave to the lad

"Michael, this gift that you ask for, I cannot give
You already have it; the proof, how you live

No greater or abundant faith, a man ever needs
Than to love from his heart, which reflects in his deeds

The man in the mirror, you sought all along
Was always inside you, expressed in your song

Your compassion, generosity and love, passed the test
You already measure, above all the rest"

"But Santa, the world does suffer, it's true
There must be something more I can do"

Santa took him in hand, with a stern and strong grip, sharing
"Enough you have done; ALL must give love and caring"

"Then give me the faith Santa, to believe that we can
For it is so true, I am only one man"

"The faith you desire Michael, is in the seeds you have sown
Just look all around you, see how they've grown"

Glancing round at the elves, their renewed glee and splendor
Michael then realized, he indeed was a mender

A smile lit his face, as bright as the sun
Humbly assured, his work was well done

Now turning to Santa, with a whimsical grin
Saying, "Santa, doggonit, you've done it again"

Both laughing out loud, in this moment of bliss
Michael knowing, this place, he surely would miss

With those sparking doe eyes, he did timidly plea, "
May I stay, please Santa, if just for awhile"

"HO, HO, HO", Santa roared with his heartiest bellow
"Of course you can Michael, we cherish your smile.

C0v??
 

Wow,What a truly beautiful, truthful poem! Especially, these parts-

"Michael, this gift that you ask for, I cannot give
You already have it; the proof, how you live

No greater or abundant faith, a man ever needs
Than to love from his heart, which reflects in his deeds

The man in the mirror, you sought all along
Was always inside you, expressed in your song

Your compassion, generosity and love, passed the test
You already measure, above all the rest"

AND


"The faith you desire Michael, is in the seeds you have sown
Just look all around you, see how they've grown"

Glancing round at the elves, their renewed glee and splendor
Michael then realized, he indeed was a mender


Thankyou to the lovely author, and thankyou qbee for sharing!
Its amazing how all of us in Michael's fan family percieve him the same way- as the most beautiful, loving, caring, generous, courageous, child-like, truly special being he was...a true gift and blessing from God!

If only he knew that we knew who he was, and that he was never alone and forever loved with all of our hearts...



 
Awwwww, it's the sweetest thing I've read in a long time :)
 
I find it ironic that Santa, being the Coca Cola frontman, and Michael, being the Pepsi frontman, become friends in this poem ;)
 
Qbee Thank you SOOOO much for sharing this....you brought a smile to my face today...:hug: and whoever the author of this masterpiece is...please tell them Thank you, :)
