Tell’m

Latin X 1967 (Philadelphia)

Rhymed
I hope you’re watching over me from heaven.

I hope God let you in.

Tell’m you regret your passed sin.

Tell’m you’re happy to be home.

Tell’m to watch over me.

Tell’m my big heart is in need.

Tell’m I write to remember you.

Thank him for blessing me with a great mind.

Tell’m I can’t leave my pain behind.

Tell’m I struggle in silence.

He knows everything I do.

I just wanted you to know I still think of you.

About this poem

I lost my nephew that I raised. He was like a son to me. Had it not been for my ability to write I don’t know where I’d be.
