Michael Brixey Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Michael will be deeply missed by all those that loved and cared for him.
A graying man of faded youth
face leathered by the sun
sits astride his ancient iron
and dreams of one last run
Having seen so many things
that most men never see
doing things that most men do
only in their fantasies
A man with a family
and Brothers everywhere
who makes his bed on God's green earth
and sleeps without a care
A soldier of the highway
a prisoner of the road
a man whose lived more stories
than most men have ever told
Who knows his run is over
and he will ride no more
he slips his trike back into gear
and rides for Heaven's door
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
