“…cousins…

Cousins

“Heart to heart,

Distance can’t keep them apart”

Joy ,Fun,Happiness,

Funny, “best of both family and friends”

Childhood that “can’t be lost 

Adults, remarkable, beyond happy,

filled with laughter,

“Spilling over in song”

Old days recalling youth, sunshiny days

Vacations, weddings bring joy,

Even the saddest times, cousins leave full

Cousins have a way

The texts that only you would understand 

Pictures that tell a story of the love 

Words to lift and strengthen 

A glance to reassure

Shelter the days and years that pass 

Gaining hope, friendships carry the weight

As seasons change and temples gray

As one who gathers proud recollections,

Looking back, family traditions, grace and love, and freedoms found.

“Life is fleeting, a vapor, like a breath,”

you give renewed life

Like a morning mist”, you rise together, refreshing, souls

A joy growing older,

A glance of eternity 

Permanence that this life can’t give,

Gladness with you.

Cousins,
