In Loving Memory of Michael Morales

Pure as a river trickling into the sea

Whiter than the mountaintops of our congruent history

Faced with the knowledge to shield this family

Life’s pain lurks beyond the city, buried in humanity.

Gentler than a summer breeze in the midst of spring

Climbs eternal destiny, hear the song it sings

Blankets of outcries sung in harmony,

Soaring through a bustling mind, resting nigh to Thee

Poised on center stage before the chimes begin

Whistles the cadence… buried deep within.

May your true character radiate for all the world to see

Rehearsed on heavenly plains one common destiny

May we be the hope that soothes this immeasurable pain

May your eternal joy exclaim on mountain tops and whistle through the plains

May God crown you as His deputy for eternity!

Michael, In this life and the next…

Know that you meant the World to me.
