To begin. I'm the one with the white shirt, and my sunglasses hanging on my chest..I was born in Brooklyn, NY. Moved to California at the age of 10. I had a great childhood. Was to become a pro baseball player, but a car accident put a hold on that. I served in the US Army 199th Infantry- Viet-Nam- 1969-1970.. 1971 i married Jo Anne Benevento, and was Blessed with two Beautiful girls, Tina, and Michele. Jo Anne passed away in Jan. 18 2010. My children moved to Texas in Dec. 2012... I then followed in May 2013, and found my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I heard that Texas was God's Country. I found out that was to be true!!!
"So many of my words you heard before, Along with excuses, i just can't think of anymore. What i can do is pray that i will try. Like a baby taken their first steps, they begin to smile to stop the cry. I never felt your pain until now, my heart is soar. If it's this that you felt, please open your door. Knowing is now the knowledge that you gave to me. Break these chains, set me free. Allow me back into your arms, let me hold you once again. Even if not for lovers, but slowly, a friend."

" Tip Toe"
"My dreams are vivid, you are there. I'm in love with you once again. Allow me to stay in my sleep. Allow me to go on. I see you clearer then before, i'm afraid to blink. I walk closer to you. Please don't vanish. Your reaching your arms to me, i need to feel your flesh. My heart is pumping faster then ever before. I reach for you, and we touch. My head rests on your left shoulder, as yours rests on mine. I remember the fragrance of your body. I take it in with my deepest breath. I let it out, and your gone. I awake, with the fragrance of you lingering on."

"An Ending "
"He came to us with the brightest brown eyes. Cuddled in Mom's arms never thinking ever of early goodbye's. Living much of a sheltered life learning dad's trade. A table he once made that brought him much praise. His town was as small as the bucket of water he would get from the well. Knowing at a young age he had bigger plans, with so much more to tell. A Jewish boy with an ambition of traveling the land. His time had come to leave home to become a man. Footstep after footstep took him on a journey that pleased him well. People listened to his words of hope taking their lives out of dispel. The word went out across many villages that a man was lifting up hearts, and souls. A man they called Jesus. Making their lives whole. Miracles were performed, along with many storms. So many followers, yet so much doubt. I knew this was to happen. He knew not to put up a fight. Torture came upon him, keeling over, then stood up for more. Moments later, sentenced to death, and placing a crown of thorns on his head. You all know the ending. My Son died for all your sins. As your Heavenly Father i ask only one favor. Please become Born Again." Signed: The Holy Spirit!!!! Why? Because God gets all The Glory!!!!! Michael.....

"My Baby Boy Has Died"
"I now walk through the the empty fields that once filled our sense of smell from the flowers of our creator. Empty are my hands, but your footsteps on our trail still appear. I'm alone along with the soil of it's earth. A Butterfly is my company. Funny. I have never seen them with a mate. A sign maybe that your near. A whisper heard in my ear. I'm no longer alone. A fragrance of the past suddenly mixed in with a soft breeze. I'm awaken with the sensation of heat from the sun as it reaches my right hand. I'm no longer alone. The unexpected have come to others. Can this be mine? I need to treat it as such. To enjoy this given moment in time. To kiss the air, knowing you are here."

"A Fire Well Burning"
Growing up with you, it started in our schools sand box. I only remember the stare i had for you while i filled up a bucket with my tiny shovel. Later you grew into the piece that was missing from my puzzle. Always referred to as childhood sweethearts. Years branding us with crows feet, and still listening to Mozart's. How we love the classics, sunny days feeding the pigeons on the park bench. Looking at the children in the sand boxes. Catching the little boy with his first stare."
