For Michael

Since you were taken from us, our precious son,

our world has been altered

without your every day presence and touch.

Our love will never let you go,

though we know you have other work

that you have to do in Heaven with your grandparents,

uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.

We send our love to our precious son

every day and night in our prayers.

We long for your laughs, touches,

and just your presence here with us.

We know we will see you

when it's our time to join you in Heaven.

So, I will have to say bye, until then.
