Michael's Poem

We know you’ll be there

When we look out at the pond

With a cool, peaceful breeze

Knowing you’re with God

We know you’ll be there

When we think of your love for cars

With the vision of you driving

Up above the stars

We know you’ll be there

When your cat comes out to play

With joy in knowing

You saved him as a stray

We know you’ll be there

To greet us at the gates

With your big hazel eyes

And your sweet, loving face.

Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted”
