Dear Cousin

Dear Cousin, where are you now
I have so much to share
But not sure to express how

Coming into my life
Has been such a blessing
To my confidence
Assuring me of
God’s existence

Worried about you, fretting & fearing the worse
Someone once told me that something
Almost ended your course

Beautiful, supportive, unconditional
Caring is all that you give
Thus, inspiring me to encourage
Others to fully live

Thank you God for sending
Me my Guardian Angel
For she is calm and truly enables

What an honor and gift 
She is to have around
Because of her, I’m forever
Bound

Please cousin, answer my prayer
And give me a call
For without you, I’m lost
And scared to fall

I need you to stay
And touch my heart
I’m afraid to be apart

Why, dear cousin, do you love me sooo?
I really don’t want to see you go.

Squash these rumors,
Put my mind at rest
I am not absolutely
Ready for God’s test

Hold my hand, take me
To that beautiful place
Let me experience all of
Your grace

I know relationships are here
For reasons or seasons,
But with us, there ain’t
Gonna be no leaving

You will always be my belief,
My guide, my confidante
Whether you are with me a little
Longer in this lifetime or not.
