This was written for my Dear Friend Rhea King. Larry Young was her nephew. I am so sad for your loss. Larry will be laid to rest tomorrow in OK.Life Continues..
Son of my sister,
Nephew to me.
Blood of her blood
And my blood is she.
Close to this boy
Was this boy and me
Blood of her blood
And my blood was he.
When he grew up
Miles distanced he
Blood of her blood
And her blood and me
A Green Beret
He grew to be.
Blood of her blood
His blood to me.
His life silenced
A shock to she
Blood of her blood
and her blood and me.
But there is life
That came from he.
They are his blood
And Sister and me.
