The poem reads:

Only You

by a young Michael Jordan

Only you can brighten my dayOnly you can show me the way.Only you can except my love.You and the great man above.Only you can kiss my cheek.When I with you I never fear defeat.I hope you grow very, very tall.Because right now you haven't grown at all.My face shows happiness and blue.Because I will love Only You.

Also up for auction is a love letter written by Charles Barkley:

Biscuits

I love you.

OK, I was just joking about the Barkley letter.
