About the Poem
This poem was written by me right after I received a phone call that my friend Michael had passed away from Leukemia. As tears were running down my face, I thought about writing down my feelings so I did and I wrote this poem I changed it a bit but it still sends the same message, and every time I read it I cry.
My friend was only 11 years old when he died, he loved baseball, his favorite team was the Yankees, I will never forget Michael or his sweet smile. This poem is in memory of: Michael D. Wrobel 1984- 1996. We miss you Michael.

Michael, Our Friend |
| by Lindsay |
|
A couple of years ago, My friend Michael was diagnosed with leukemia It was like a clash of thunder creeping through the sky. My friends and I just prayed for the Lord to heal him through Michael's spirit will never fade because he is like an angel watching over us At the end we had to say goodbye but we all knew that he was raised up on eagle's wings And now through these days we hear him soaring through the skies like a little butterfly "And Michael, don't forget we're your friends, your best friends" |

I have just lost a friend on the 22nd of july also called Michael. He sadly died aged only 34. The only thing that leaves peace in my heart is that he did not suffer but went in his sleep. Your poem for the simalarities stood out to me.

my most best friend in the whole world got into a car crash in the summer of 2003. how i found out was that i got an email from a friend but i couldn't believe it, although i was very very worried. and then about 3 days later, i got a call from a parent and she said that my friend really had gotten into a car crash! i was so sad and mad all at the same time i couldn't cry.

That is the best one I have read it is so deep and so sad I am not kidding. My best friend lost her dad in 2001 from carbon monoxide poisoning.
