A little time on earth he spent Till God for Him, His angel sent.

O Lord who watches over children in the present life and in the world to come because of their simplicity and innocence of mind, abundantly satisfying them with a place in Abraham's bosom, bringing them to live in radiantly shining places where the spirits of the righteous dwell: receive in peace the soul of Your little servant Michael, for You Yourself have said, "Let the little children come to Me, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Amen.

For the family:

Lord,
Michael is gone now from this earthly dwelling,and has left behind those who mourn his absence.
Grant that we may hold his memory dear,never bitter for what we have lost nor in regret for the past,
but always in hope of the eternal kingdom where you will bring us together again.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

What beautiful prayers! I will also be praying for the repose of Michael's soul and will be lifting up The Zaplitow family in my prayers as well, Thomas.
