Today (Aug. 29th, 2016) would have been Michael Jackson’s 58th birthday, and to commemorate the occasion, oldest son Michael Jackson Jr. (who goes by Prince Jackson) shared a heartfelt poem on Monday morning.
.
“Happy birthday to the Man who was more than a legend. I love you,” Jackson posted on Instagram as a caption to the poem. Check out the poem, in which Prince calls MJ “an archangel,” below:

The Myth, The Legend, The Man
.
To many he is king, to me, a man.
All he inspires, to lead a noble cause
Everyone is family, not a fan.
Even while receiving thunderous applause.
The many know the Legend and the Myth
The lucky few know the Man as he is
But not as the Jackson Family fifth
"Son, Brother, Father," these few know him as,
He is the Myth the Legend, and the Man.
He cares for his mother and his children,
The world and everyone, he is a lamb.
.
He is the archangel known as Michael
He is with us and our tears we must stifle.
