About the Poem
This was written in memory of my cousin, Bobby. He was in a wheel chair most of his life and couldn't move anything on his body except his fingers. His strength to go on touched everyone he ever met.
Without any symptoms, he got sick very fast. His death affected the whole family in a lot of ways. This is my attempt to express my love for him and my family.

People never knew just how much he meant to me and you They knew him by name, but it's still not the same His eyes so bright, his smile so wide We always let him know we were right there by his side Now he's gone from me and you Now we have no reason to be blue We loved him, he loved us And we have to try not to fuss He said goodbye and gave you a kiss Now all we can do is reminis Why does God take the best to love Up to that great big world up above? His memory will never leave His kind and gentle smile will always be seen Never forget him, never let him leave your mind Tell him you love him, just one more time. |

This reminds me of my cousin, she died three years ago, over time this loss has turned into a storm of rage and it has been hurting me ever since the accident. The devil or a demon one is attacking my heart and trying to bring me down but i keep fighting in my dark endless night.

I related to this poem because I too lost my dear cousin who was more like a sister to me than a just a cousin. So young, Manic Depression led her to take her own life. I miss her so much and loved her dearly.

This poem is beautiful. I think many families are affected by the loss of a cousin or someone that they loved enough to be considered one.
Misty
I loved this poem. I had a cousin pass away because of a motorcycle accident. He was killed on fathers day of this year. He left behind a wife and a one yr. old little boy. He will be sadly missed by all of his family. We loved him in life and we will love him in death. Thanks for the poem.
