We Miss You

I've been fightin' the pains since you passed away
It still feels unreal,
I ask God for some brighter days
and help us heal,

See we need him to keep us strong,
Me & Den your only 2 seeds
and we have to prolong & have to hold on,

In a messed up society,
Like Granny you're a sweet lady
who showered us with love & you guided me,

Through the struggles of a young man growin'up,
My momma,
You brought smiles on my jail visits
when you we're showin' up,

So i'm gonna' miss the twinle in your brown eyes
and  when you smile back,
You know we think about you day & night
and I need my best pal back,

So I will illustrate my love like yours,
With the help of the Lord,
I will breed it in your grandkids
and we love & miss you forever more.

I have read through at least half of your poems tonight, Louis. You are a frightening man - that lives in a frightening world!! However, even though i am not a sporting man, i am willing to wager you are a decent, honest man of sorts. You have seen a world i have never encountered - You have my respect for having come through it!! May good fortune favour you - And may you find peace and happiness! Your friend... :) john.
