A Boater, Fisher, beach goer
Often I made him the kayak rower
A man who was always there for you
He started something, saw it through
A lover, and loved, a heart of steel
He loved the boat and fishing reel
An animal lover, he took many in
Treated them like they were next of kin
Mechanical, electrical stimulated his mind
Never a problem or solution he couldn’t find
He often said he looked up to me
My success, Michael was the key
My best friend, we always had fun
He brought laughs even to Nuns
A good man with a heart of gold
Years from now, his stories will be told
Michael, I feel we shared minds alike
My middle name Michael, your name mike
--Christopher M Brennan, M.D.
