Detroit, to take me down Seven Mile. You and Seven Mile

My Big Cousin
He was more than a cousin
He was a brother and my friend
He never let me get hurt
He protected my by all means
Whenever I would cry
He always cared for me
Telling me to be okay
Things will get better
Now that he's gone, things won't be the same
I always miss him and love him so
My big cousin, why did he have to go!
Leaving me with only memories and a smile
Sidney, I'm gong to miss having you around
Love Ya,
Cousin Barb

I Am
I am strong and forgiving.
I wonder why they had to take his life.
I hear his voice screaming out for help.
see the bullets in his chest as he laid in a
)ool of blood.
I am strong and forgiving.
I pretend that he is still with me.
I feel cold when I see his body.
I touch the casket that his body now rests in.
I worry is there a place for me.
I cry when this thought comes to mind.
I am strong and forgiving.
I understand there's a better place
I say that it doesn't bother me, but it does.
I dream that he's still here with me.
I try to live out my dreams knowing he won't be there
hope no one has to feel this pain.
I am strong and forgiving.
