Our Brother

He came into our family Became one of us right away He was always smiling But didn't have to much to say When Michael spoke we listened He was honest to the core You could tell he had a hard life We could see he wanted more The things that made him happy Weren't all that hard to see His family being the main ones And he loved his smoking tree Our family day out was special Howth hill he gave his best shot He huffed but kept on smiling You could see it meant a lot We all seen so much in Michael His strenght his drive his fight And on that day he left the lodge We all prayed he'd be alright He took the power from his addiction And that was clear to see And if he had to pass away I'm glad he passed while free He'll always be our brother We could see that from the start You'll never be forgotten Mick Your always in our heart
