Dear Stephen
Dear Stephen
Just 33 years old you where when death stole you from adoring fans
Everyone loved your soothing voice from babies to dear old grans
But to me you where my idol, the one I looked up as a personal icon
I’d cling to you song words... They where almost something I relied on
You made me so honoured to be a long time fan
When in your song better... You where featured with a man
Years before you where hounded by the evil public
They where homophobic … how they treated you was sick
But you rose above it all and you inspired many to be true to who they are
You where no longer seen as that little gay pop star
You where known as the man who spoke up and was proud to be himself
You didn’t care about the fame the parties or the wealth
I followed your story from being a 6 year old child
From your solo career, your Westend show, to how your clothes where styled
When I heard your band where back again, to do what you do best
I knew that the modern audience could not detest
I brought your singles and your greatest hit album, I watched the TV shows
I loved being an original, but it was outstanding to see the fan base grow
You where my favourite superstar that ever had lived
Your voice was pure and angelic, a god sent gift
To hear that my long time idol had passed away
It was tragic and it hurt, it was one dark Saturday
So Stephen where ever you are right now from above
I want you to know that you havethe purest of hearts.. a real love
Thank you for giving many the motivation to be true
But most of all.. I thank god for the gift of you
RIP Stephen Gately 17 March 1976 - 10 October 2009
