A Modern Day Superman

He was a friend to all

He’d pick you up should you fall

Always a smile on his face

Could make a heart race

A friend, a lover, a brother

Taught people to love one another

He didn’t wear a red cape every day

But he saved people in the simple ways

A high five ready to go

Never not a hug and a “Hello”

He never asked for anything

I’m sure he knew we appreciated everything

He had a laugh that lifted hearts

Taking someone broken and fixing their parts

An unforgettable life and soul

Without him, we won’t be whole

He’s left a handprint on us all

He’ll forever live in friends and old school halls

A hero ‘til the very end

Giving his last to be the very best friend

A miracle to all since life began

Always he’ll be a modern day Superman
