A Tribute To Mitchell John Kemling Poem by Andrea Totaro

A Tribute To Mitchell John Kemling



He was like a shiny gold casket
That, when opened,
Shows coins of the same color
As well as pearls, diamonds,
And colorful gemstones.
A loving person to the end,
His organs saved lives
After an aneurysm left him brain-dead.
