Stephen Corbally Poet I do not know?

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
