This morning I was listening to Hold My Hand as I was driving. Akon has a good voice, it's a beautiful song, but what makes it into an incredibly beautiful song is Michael. His harmonies, his ad libs, his voice weaving it all together makes my stomach jump and my heart expand. As I was thinking about how he often sang with other people, sometimes only singing a small part, or background, or chorus, and always seemed to bring the music to life. As I was thinking about this, I remembered the song he sang with his nephews 3T, I Need You. I had to laugh when that song came on next on my random selection of over 300 songs. The song is good, his nephews are fine singers, but my mind had started to wander by the time Michael's part came up. And then everything stood still as he brought the song to life. What is really going on here? I know I love him, but there is no denying the way he adds a whole new dimension to whatever he does.
It reminds me of my life. It's fine, all is well, and it always has been. But having Michael in my life, having him be the focus and foundation of all I do, has brought harmony and beauty that I had never known existed until I met him. He has taken me, an ordinary person with an ordinary life and brought meaning and purpose and Joy and Love beyond all imagining. He has turned my life into a song with a whole new dimension. He is always there, sometimes in the background, sometimes taking the lead, sometimes being silent and letting me carry it on my own. Oh what a song we are creating together. It's our song. A work of art.
Michael, thank you for Holding my Hand, I Need You
I love you,
BJ
