in Memory of our Lastromantichero


Tenderness

Tenderness is set upon the rainbow
and cast about to flutter in the breeze
where angels gather up each kindly thought
and place them now before you...

accept them, Michael, please.

Your gentle touch and laughter, bright,
sustains our days and lights our nights.
Our Lastromantichero, yes... 'Tis true
There is no other, Michael, such as you.

The sweetness of this is fitting for a man such as Michael. His beautiful heart, so physically damaged, so spiritually full, brought new life to my sister Kathy. This is a lovely tribute to a lovely man. He gave her enough love to sustain her through her ongoing grief.
