You Have Been Found

a friend to all
could be found at the Levee
As most recall
almost every night almost every day

A hardworking man
He was looking for God
in the small places
and the everyday faces…

You’re as free as a bird now
Left us too soon but…
we always remember now
our Miller Lites and our stupid fights

miss you sittin’ at
the corner of our
kitchen table
not one of us able
To pass – it – by…

Miguel———
Your kindness
intelligence
We miss it so

Nene———
still so renowned
We know you’re smiling down
and now you have been found…

Nothing ever held you back
Doesn’t — even now
Reminiscing on your Michael Jackson
your selfless interactions

best friends and Betsy
Miss you but yet we
know you’ve found your peace
in His arms———

Miguel———
Dad’s best friend and Mom’s best man
We miss you so

Nene———
still so renowned
We know you’re smiling down
and now you have been found…
