The Life/Death of Yusuf White

Dear big brother

I was at the house just thinking about you

So I grab my pen and pad and wrote this letter

It’s been over twenty years since I’ve seen you

And I just wanted to tell you that I miss you

I made it through life

But always wondered

How it would be in life

To have my big brother

Could I got educated on popping them shells

Maybe even got educated on macking to females

But I am still confused on how life would be with you

Even when I was young and dumb could I ran the streets with you

After you left a few years later mom and dad divorced.

All seems is that they hate each other but it hurts

You can see it in their eyes

Some night’s mom cries and I always wondered why

But now I can see the reason

Mom so teary and her feelings

It was you

So she has higher expectations for me

Just because of you

I think she is afraid of losing me

I try to fulfill you shoes

But it is hard

I feel like you wear 39’s and I’m pushing 2’s

But I try hard

To put a smile on her face

I think she see you on my face

Third Verse and Final Verse

The lifestyle of a 4 year old child

Could never been predicted

That he would leave the earth without a smile

While in the yard kicking it

With life set for him to leave

On October 31^st also known as Halloween

One day he would decide to go outside and play

As a careless truck driver would into a thought to be an empty driveway

Running over crushing every piece of his bones

Which now leaves an empty part in the heart and now I’m alone

Watching you lower deeper and deeper in the dirt

Still holds weight on my heart and it still hurts

I love you and will always love you

I miss you and will always miss you

Till the next time we meet each other

I will always live you through my life forever
