My Buddy Michael

Michael Lerro, my friend since we were kids at Bible Camp. Such a great person and a better Christian example, I don't know many. After college we lost touch but reconnected through facebook. He married another good friend and built a wonderful family, all the while spreading God's word and love. Why must the good be taken too soon?

Michael

My little buddy died tonight.

He was too young, it’s just not right.

He left his family and friends

Such a positive influence.

I only knew him in his youth

A friend indeed who spoke the truth.

Talked each other out of sadness

Laughed ourselves away from madness.

His first girl turned into his wife

Dedicated to her, his life.

To his kids a fine example

A home with love more than ample.

From this cruel world, his life taken,

Up in heaven soon to waken.

His family will miss him most

And all his friends from coast to coast.
