Does it fall from skies above?
Is it underneat the willow tree
That I've been dreaming of?
Where is she?
Who I close my eyes to see?
Will I ever know the sweet "hello"
That's only meant for me?
Who can say where she may hide?
Must I travel far and wide?
'Til I am bedside the someone who
I can mean somethin to ...
Where...?
Where is love?
"Former child acting star Mark Lester said in a British newspaper yesterday that he donated sperm to Michael Jackson and believes he could be the biological father of the late singer's daughter Paris.
Lester, who played Oliver Twist in the 1968 film musical Oliver!, told the News of the World: "I gave Michael my sperm so that he could have kids - and I believe Paris is my daughter." He said he was willing to take a paternity test to establish whether or not he is 11-year-old Paris' father.
The 51-year-old Briton became friends with Jackson and is godfather to Paris, and Jackson's two other children, Prince Michael, 12, and seven-year-old Prince Michael II, known as Blanket.
"It's a been a secret for so long," Lester told the weekly tabloid.
"In 1996 Michael asked me if I would give him my sperm and I said yes. It was a gift to him, no money was paid, it was something I was honoured to do. He wanted children so badly."
Lester added: "I want to have contact with her, Prince and Blanket regardless of whether any or all of them are mine. I think it's cruel that I've now been excluded from them."
He said that since Jackson's mother Katherine had been granted custody of the children following the singer's death, all his phone calls and e-mails had gone unanswered.
Lester, who has four children himself, said there was a strong resemblance between his 15-year-old daughter Harriet and Paris.
He told the News of the World that Jackson first confided in him in 1996 that he was desperate to be a father.
Both were then aged 37 and Lester already had three children. "He realized having kids was a natural thing but that he just couldn't do it," Lester said. "I mentioned the fact there are alternative ways of going about it.
"I think he'd already tried using his own sperm but it hadn't worked for him, so I made an off-the-cuff comment saying, 'Try mine'."
Jackson agreed and the donation was arranged through a clinic in Harley Street, London, in February 1996.
Eight months later Jackson announced he had married nurse Debbie Rowe and three months later the couple revealed the birth of their first child, Prince.
Paris was born just over a year later, in April 1998."

This story is so bizarre. I can't help but pity the kids. Michael Jackson is like Voldemort - creating children in his own image. Very sad.
I never thought people would be climbing out of the woodwork to claim parentage of Michael's kids, but I guess that was naive of me.
Claudia...the problem is, none of them look like him without their veils on. It is very sad. And my heart goes out to those children. what kind of life are they going to have.....what chance do they have to grow up emotionally intact??
Judy.... me too. But then when I read this morning that Paris' dad was none other than Mark Lester (be still my 10 year old heart!!!) I went into spasms of laughter. I wonder who's sperm created the other two?? Only time will tell.
If ever there was a crazy, mad and abusive family, its that one! Whatever are those kids going to grow up to be? Wannabe celebs? They will just be "pass the parcel" children.
Ugh....those poor children...what a world of weight on their shoulders, I hope that they can retain some form of normal life and prosper from the feats that arise to them...ugh...
I was astounded when I read about this the other day. The whole MJ saga is becoming so perverse. I remember watching Mark Lester in Oliver and thinking how sweet he was. This is just such an unsettling arrangement.
I feel so badly for the kids. It will be bewildering for them when they find out about this. It's awful.
BTW, I love your new header. Reminds me of my childhood holidays in the Channel Islands. The colours are glorious!
OY VEY! Who knows, maybe he is the Sperm Doner...? And then again.....It seems lots of people are coming out of the woodwork now, doesn't it...
BTW: One little correction in those lyrics...it is "dreaming of"...I bet you jnew that and just left off the "ing" part.....
Naomi...it seemed pretty legitimate, but who the heck knows?? It's all funny in a twisted humour way.
I fixed the lyrics. thank you. :)
