Michael and Mark

Michael and Mark

A Poem by Bo Lanier

Well these two darlin' boys of 4 and 6

Were so full of life and as close as two

Brothers could be...Michael and Mark

Of Athens, TN had their fun in the sun

And played their games as most children

Do but one stormy night the dream of

Two small caskets awake Granny Lou

And it wasn't long before then prophecy

Came true...their father came to pick

Them up for the weekend right on time

And everything seemed to be fine as they

Headed up to that cabin in the Blue Ridge

Mountains but as darkness fell that night

A demon must have took hold of him as he

Griped the barrel of a gun and ended

Their sweet little lives...well God only knows

What went on their for the dead can't speak

For themselves but an eye for an eye and a

Tooth for a tooth he shot and killed himself

Farewell to bad rubbish but we'll always miss

Michael and Mark just very much but

We know they're safe in the arms of the Lord

Now these two darlin' brothers so beloved!
