A Person of Interest

      Just a kid 
        hardly knew him
      Seemed friendly enough
       nice smile, he wore  

      When I last saw him? 
        Oh, I dunno. Few days ago
      He was walkin’ toward the river
        come to think of it  

     Friends. Yeah, one girlfriend
       though haven’t seen her lately… 
     Not much for sports, I don’t think
       Kept pretty much to himself, you know

    That’s about all I can think of 
      I’ll be gettin’ along now…

I was hoping it read that way, i.e., true-to-life. Thanks, Mike.

Every life is a book's worth -- though may simply sit on a shelf unread. God is the author of all. At least make attempt to read your brother's foreward.
