Michael Darnell Wright - God Bless our New Stanton Senior High School Class of 1971 Classmate.

May this poem I have written for family and friends in time of sorrow bring some comfort.

I'll Always Be

On earth I was God's solider.
On earth I was a friend.
On earth I was a father,
And a loved one;
Til the end.

Some say I was “More Than Special”
Some say I was above them all.
Some say I dealt with reason.
Some say I was their beckoning call.

But this was not my mission,
my mission was my love.
And now my mission's over.
To be with my master up above.

A peaceful, restful journey
Is now what I must take.
And praise God for his glory
for in his arms I'll wake.

But through it all I'll remember.
The love that walked with me.
The cherishing and guidance
which led me to be free.

I'll rest now from all worries.
I'll rest now from all despair.
I'll rest where angels glory.
As God's hand leads me there.

And as you have the memories.
Of what we all have shared.
Remember that I loved you.
And thanks for being there.

For “I” will always be.


In memory of: Michael Darnell Wright
