You were big and strong and brave…
always made waves.
The eldest
led the way
Kept us safe
always at play
Mama and the spoons
sunny afternoons…
milk and cookies
always there
had to ‘tribute’
share.
Our childhood
not so bad,
they cared.
Grown now
grown apart
grown to middle age
always in my heart.
Never matter
the loves the same
we were there
we share an unbreakable bond.
We will always care.
Cousin,
you are still
big and strong and brave,
heart of a lion,
a hero just the same.
