A Gentle wind blew across the land
Reaching out to take Mike's hand
For on the winds the angels came
Calling out Mike's name.
Left behind, a family's tears
Loving memories of the years
Of joy, love and a short lived life
And now to God his soul takes flight.
On Angels wings a heavenly flight
The journey home toward the light
To those who weep, a life is gone
But in God's love, and our hearts
He shall forever live on
