Become a Man

Tears of a Father.

Cousins I love like a brother.

Heart wrenching agony.

Suicide...a tragedy.

I, just a young who lost his uncle.

Became a man in a week.

My father weeping, for the first time he is weak.

So I must be strong, I must become a man.

I must support the man I wants to be like.

Without you though Mike, this family doesn't feel right.

You made me a man, your addiction made me realize.

How this ugly disease called addiction can destroy lives.

Not just yours Mike, all of ours.

You made me a man, but I would much rather be a naive boy who still has his favorite uncle

I love you Mike.
