People get so hung up on unimportant crap
So he used drugs....so what?
Someone heard he might be gay.....so what?
The real questions should be:
Is he a professional?
Did I get my money's worth at the show or on the CD?
Could I feel the power of his voice through my body at the show?
Does his spirit flow through every song?
Can I pick up the albums and feel the soul of a beautiful man?
Do I not thank the Lord for this man and for giving him such a talent?
Does he have friends and family who love him?
Unconditionally?
Is he healthy and safe?
Is he not beautiful, inside and out?
Is he not free?
I know one thing
God loves this man
I love him, too
That's enough for me
I don't worry about that other stuff
Whether it is true or not
None of my business, anyway
Indeed, the real question should be...
Do you love him or not?

God Bless You, Mr. Mathis.
