a big brother to the world
in honor of Khaleel Loyd
he is a
big brother
to you
to me
to all
to the world
always bringing
unity
to the
community
he is a
big brother
his eyes truly
see no other
just the you
that is in me
and the me
that is in you
and ways for us
together to be
the best version
of we
he is a
big brother
always taking chances
creating spaces
protecting his families places
and making sure no story
ever erases
he is the kind of
big brother
that always steps up
never letting fear
cause him to shudder
oh how he moves
sure leaves us all
with such a
sense of wonder
he is
always looking to
to be
someone’s
new
big brother
finding ways to
give to
give back
give forward
and give across
with such generosity
family and humanity
in his heart
his reward
is what returns
from how he gives
one of the whys
for how he lives
to see your face
that moment
you realize there is nothing
you lack
because he will protect you
from any harmful flack
i mean this man truly
has your back
making sure
you never walk
through life feeling like
an other
because you always
feel the love of
a
big brother
