Message
to Michael
Michael, you left us as a
hero today,
For God called you home to
stay.
My young warrior, my hero,
my son,
Engaged in the fight for
Iraqi’s freedom.
Saddam’s regime could not
have known,
You had children at
home.
Christian now seven, and
Joshua just two,
Caleb and Taylor, the
newborn twins,
Will never get to know
you.
Now, as an angel of
light,
You have become their
guardian tonight,
Watching over them each day
and night.
Michael, you left us as a
hero today,
For God called you home to
stay.
My young warrior, my hero,
my son,
Engaged in the fight for
Iraqi’s freedom.
When I felt your life near
its end,
Tension and worry became an
unwanted friend.
The bubble of light I
envisioned you in,
Wasn’t enough to shield you
with.
Your mission in this life
was complete,
Therefore, God brought you
home to meet,
Relatives and friends who
have gone before,
So they could meet you at
the veiled door.
Michael, you left us as a
hero today,
For God called you home to
stay.
My young warrior, my hero,
my son,
Engaged in the fight for
Iraqi’s freedom.
My heart heavy with
sorrow,
With tears falling into
tomorrow.
The emotional pain that
ripped through my soul,
Is far greater than you’ll
ever know.
The loss I feel, I fear will
never heal,
As the memories of you, turn
in my mind like a wheel.
Know that my love for you
will always remain,
Know that your life was not
in vain.
You are honored as an
American Hero!
