round three

out of options

he joined

so much changed

with just one signature

so proud of him

trying to make it

trying to be better

finding his own way

the first round

brought a son

born while he was

half a world away

the second time

i can't imagine

the pain of knowing

how much he would grow

now round three

and so much sadness

not sure the origin

but so sorry it is that way

in my mind

he'll always be

that little monkey boy

that i love

please Lord protect him

on this

his round three

clear the evil from his path

and help him to be safe

remind him of our love

and of your love

be with those he loves

regardless of the situation

use this time for your glory

in a way that would seem

impossible

thank you Lord

for my cousin

amen.
