In Memory of Michael T. (Snake)

5-13-11

God must have had a purpose

That only you could fulfill

As he took you so swiftly

And yes, against our will

Your smile and your kindness

Were bestowed on everyone

Such a beautiful life

Can never be undone

All you loved and created

In your spirit will remain

The God that took you from us

We pray will ease our pain

Ust

I was born from dust

Treated with disgust

But did what I must

Own nothin but rust

Ate nothin but crust

Yeah, guilty of lust

Never worth my trust

The world so unjust

My life was a bust

Goin back to dust

Beast

It feels like hades in my heart

As I watch my world fall apart

Reality's just a dream away

Tomorrow never comes today

My soul just wanders to and fro

But knows not where it ought to go

I cannot laugh, I will not weep

The screams don't allow me sleep

My mind is gone and my body numb

Oh what a beast I have become

Our Mother

 

She brought into this world

Two daughters and a son

Before her life had ended

And ours had just begun

 

The longing in our hearts

The tears that we cried

Three devastated lives

On the day our mother died

 

Like little lost souls

Through life we would go

Our mother's loving touch

Never would we know

 

For fate had not a plan

In those lonely years ahead

Spent searching for the answers

To things she left unsaid

 

Destined for a purpose

Each of us has grown

Clinging to a memory

Of a mother we've never known
