Richard Wake Up Poem by Jeanette Matthews

Richard wake up there's no time to sleep
Richard please wake up because I need you with me
Momma gone Richard I already know you know
So please don't leave me Richard please don't go
The street don't love you like your family do
The streets don't know you like your siter know you
Richard please wake up, don't leave me alone
That bullet didn't do nothing it just hit a little bone
Who else do I got no one but you
You know momma gone and daddy don't care what we do
Richard wake up so I can know you are okay
Promise me Richard that you will wake up today
I'm crying my eyes out while you are standing still
I'm praying to God that your bullet wound will heal
Wake up big bro I need you here
Wake up big bro because you know how I feel
Thank God you woke because I didn't know what to do
Thank God for giving me back my brother because I really did need you
