DON'T be fooled
Words with or without meaning
Tongue universally important
Part of speech
Major division of taste buds
Sweet, sour, salt, bitter
Forms words with help of
The vocal cords
Soft, loud or inbetween
Choice of words, vocab
Look at facial expression
Eyes, mouth, nose, chin
Listen with your heart
Cold, warm, compassionate
How it is said
What is said
Why, reason
Listen to the tone
Sweet smile gives it away
Words may not be kind
Do not be fooled, misled
Pay attention
Observe, heed, notice
What you hear may not
Really be said

07/24/89 - 10/22/23
Joy of a birth of a child
A healthy child, boy or girl
Joined a family
Two older brothers and a sister
Later followed by a younger sister
A houseful of love
Constant activity
Variety of music filled the house
Grateful Dead, Flume
Learn all religions
Coexist together
Present, afterlife of Egyptians
Religious symbols
Sports, swimming at George Bridge
Camping
Refinished floors with Uncle Raymond
Worked at Jewelry store, blowing glass
Had infectious laugh and kind eyes
Then it happened
Twenty -two years old
Schizophrenia
Mike's life changed
Voices in his head
One, two, as it progressed
Forty-eight hours of voices in twenty-four hours
Disease took over
Medication did not always work
Neither did street drugs
Finally, the disease came under control
All was well, more good days than bad
He was the son who enjoyed camping, music, discussion of religion
One day all ended
Mike died, no rhyme or reason
Bittersweet
Mike is now at peace
He will be sorely missed
But is remembered as
The healthy child he once was
