Michael…

 

I grew up watching you

As you achieved great things.

With a smile on your face

And a heart that always sings.

 

You were always

The family guy.

You never left me

High and dry.

 

You opened your arms

And took me under your wing.

You showed me the ropes

And taught me everything.

 

You stand up

For what you believe in.

In every life battle

You always win.

 

I still observe

Everything you do.

Your determination

Always pulls you through.

 

I wish you were here

With me today.

Not sending your love

From so far away.

 

You will forever be

In my heart.

Even when we

Are miles apart.

 

I love you

Then, forever, and now.

Don’t ever give up

Together, we’ll figure it out.
