A Tribute to Mike Kellogg

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: June 1, 2014

Saying farewell to an all-night friend…

Through the night all through these years,
your deep warm voice has calmed our fears.
Like corn flakes in the early morn,
you're breakfast for the soul.

For those who have to work til dawn,
your words of insight urged them on
to do their best and keep the faith
amid their loneliness.

And for the restless counting sheep,
you lullabyed them into sleep
through music and the spoken word
that helped them hear God's heart.

Yes, through the years all through the night
you helped us as we faced the fight.
You've been a means of grace to me
and countless listeners!

Thanks, Mike!
