Pathway Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCAD EFGHAIJ KLMH NOK PO

I never understood what it was like to have a close uncle until I met youA
You lifted me up and gave me hopeB
You looked happily married with a child and a second on the wayC
I learned Sunday football not from my dad but from youA
I still can't recall it but you called me thunder after dancing to the AC DC song as a kid and it never leftD
-
But the older I grew the wiser I becameE
I realized that you were more than you seemedF
The first thing I realized was that my family was the glue to your marriageG
The second thing I realized was that what you drink is alcohol consistentlyH
The third thing was you smoking but at the time I thought was okay because my dad would tooA
The fourth thing is that your now two kids had disabilities one with autism other with stunted growthI
Your dream life that I looked up to wasn't a dream but a mere foundation with a poor baseJ
-
As a child it hurt to see you like thatK
The wisest I think I ever did was realize to spend more moments with you than I normally didL
Because the longer this went on the more obvious the divorceM
My mom put it in the most painful words I ever heard He chose alcohol over his familyH
-
Now your in a duplex near me hopefully not drunkN
But definitely still smoking because my dad can't win that battle and he is the strongest man I knowO
No matter what happens to you I won't stop thinking of you as my uncle I can promise you thatK
-
This is less of a poem and more of a way to get this off my chestP
I love you Sincerely LeoO
