Michael,
Part of our family not by birth,
But by good fortune,
You showed us to love, even when it was not required of us
You loved my mother with everything you had,
And to us, became a dad,
With you I found a father that I never had.
You walked into our lives slowly, but left so fast,
When we had dinner last night, I didn’t know it would be our last
You left so soon, I wish we had a chance to say goodbye
If we had the chance, I would have said my thanks
You found me when I was lost, but molded me with love,
You left behind a strong impression, a loving expression
Now that you have gone, all we have are your memories,
We are sad to see you go, but glad the suffering is over,
Goodbye.
