The Journey of a Star

There was a boy who was destined for many great things.  His passion was singing and dancing.  His voice was as beautiful as an angel's.  His dancing was gravity defying.  He may have never realized that during his journey, we were all with him.  This boy's name was Michael.  Michael showed signs of talent at a very young age.  His family saw his gift and encouraged him to reach for the stars.  Michael's father was especially interested in his son's talent.  His father, took Michael and his brothers all over to sing so he can give his sons' a chance at fame.  The boys did eventually become famous and traveled all over the world.  When Michael was away from home, there was only one place where he wanted to be.  The stage.  Michael was always more relaxed when he was singing and dancing on stage.  He felt more alive then he ever did and put his heart and soul into doing his best.  He even called the stage his second home.  As the years went by, Michael wanted to go off on his own and find his own place in the world of music.  Michael's father, however, wanted his son to stay with his brothers, but Michael followed his heart and went on his own to discover himself as a singer.  Throughout the years, Michael and his music and dance moves has inspired many to become singers and dancers and appreciate the beauty of nature and the wonderful gift of children.  Michael's journey was just like a road.  There may have been bumps and blocks along the way, but he kept going no matter how impossible they seemed to get through.  Michael learned a lot of lessons along the journey, both good and bad.  One day the most shocking thing happened to Michael.  He passed away.  Even though he is gone, his spirit still lives on in his music.  Sometimes when you look out into the starry night sky, some believe they can see Michael dancing in the sky.  Michael was a star on Earth and now he is a bigger and brighter star in the sky.  Now the heavens are Michael's stage and the angels are his fans.  During Michael's time in heaven he looked from his cloud and watched all of the children.  There was one child he noticed quite a lot.  Her name was Jordan.  Jordan was a very smart girl who had a big heart and always wanted to do something amazing with her life.  Michael thought she was a very interesting girl who possessed a gift that can change the world. He wanted to help Jordan make a difference in the world just like he did.  During her time in high school, Jordan felt that someone was always giving her a little push to try new things and to get involved.  One day during her history class, Jordan heard a voice in her head.  The voice said "I have been watching you and making sure you stay on the path that I believe will bring you success in your future.  You were born for many great things and your journey has just begun.  I will always be looking over you."  Jordan did not know where the voice had come from, but some where deep, down inside of her she felt that it was a guardian angel that was pushing her to do all of the things she has done.  As the years went by, Jordan listened to the voice and accomplished many things throughout her life.  As Jordan grew up into a mature woman,  Michael became more powerful in her life and helped her do more incredible things.  On a cold February day,  Jordan was getting prepared for the biggest achievement of her life.  Before she was ready she heard the voice again.  "You have come very far from the young teen girl that I remember.  I am so proud of every thing you have done!  Remember that no matter what challenges you will face, you will always find a way to get through it.  I believe in you and I will always be looking out for you."  With those words in mind, Jordan knew she had done what she has always believed she could do.  Jordan was ready to walk out onto the balcony of her new, big and very white home to be sworn in as the first woman president!
