Below is Paris Michael Jackson’s tearful speech at her Dad Michael Jackson’s public memorial where most of the people watching were moved with her speech.
I must admit, I was moved by her short and tearful speech as well. Paris said:
“I just wanted to say, ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. I just wanted to say I love him so much.”
I’m in my 30’s and I can’t imagine losing my parents. I feel for the 11-year old Paris who just lost the most important person in her life. My heartfelt sympathy goes to the Jackson family especially to Michael’s children where even their future is hanging in the balance not knowing who will eventually look after them.
To you Paris, Prince and Blanket, I dedicate this poem:
I NEVER SAID GOODBYE
I never said goodbye to you,
it made no sense to me.
I only say goodbye,
to those I’ll never see.
One day I’ll hold your hand again;
in my heart I do believe,
that death is not the end of life;
it’s just a short reprieve.
I never said goodbye to you,
instead I said “I love you”.
As you departed on your journey
to a place where life is new.
I held your hand and kissed you.
Your leaving made me cry.
But in the end,
I know I’ll see you again…
So I never said goodbye.

This speech broke my heart. I’m 21 years old & I recently lost my father & there is no way I could have stood up in front of 10 people, much less thousands & say what she said. I’m so proud of Paris, Prince & Blanket for holding their heads high at the memorial today.
Rest in Peace Michael. You were an amazing man that will never be forgotten. You will live on in our hearts forever.
We must be in prayer for these children!!!!
We love you MJ…..Rest in peace ….. GOD ALWAYS BLESS YOU.
That was the most saddest thing that could ever happen to Prince Paris And Blanket. I am only 11 and paris is the most bravest 11 year old girl that is out there. When I watched this with my aunt we just bursted out crying. I love you Paris Prince and Blanket.
