PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

First off I want you to know you mean the world to me and I wouldn’t rather have any other cousin to be with me through all of life’s problems. You are the greatest little cousin I could ever ask for… and I didn’t even have to ask for you.



Our time together started off bumpy,

Then things kept going down hill from there.

I will admit… I thought you were the Devil,

There was no better explanation for it.

Although I’m sure you thought the same about me,

The only reason I was mean is because you were evil.

Ok, maybe that’s stretching the truth a bit…

You were a butter bud-popsicle dropping hurricane child.

I do have to say I am sorry, oh so sorry

For all that I put you through when we were little.

There were those times that you wanted to be just like me,

And I was so used to it being me and only me.

Then I was forced to share the spotlight,

So I did what any cousin would… be mean.

Finally one day we started to grow up,

And I must say timing couldn’t have been better.

I thought something terrible was going to happen that day,

But we ended up being very very lucky.

After we were back home and safe,

I made a promise to look after you.

It was time for me to start acting like a big cousin,

And start watching after my little cousin.

Then the day came that everyone dreaded,

We lost the one closest to our hearts.

These past 5 years we have grown closer,

I just wish we could have done so earlier.

We’ve matured so much over time,

It’s almost hard to believe our past together.

You are one of the main things that keep’s me here,

Because of the promise I made & the bond we have.

I know I over react sometimes, well a lot of the time,

But it is only because I love you and care for you.

It wouldn’t be such a wonderful life without you,

I would have those missing pieces of a wonderful cousin.

We have grown to be very similar,

It’s hard to believe we are only cousins.

We have the bond of the best of friends,

Our cousinly relationship is unique and cherished.

No one understands us like we do,

So we have to stick together.

Just remember no matter what,

You can always turn to me.



I love you so much, and I just want you to know that I am very happy to have you in my family, and even happier to call you my cousin. You have been here for me when I’ve needed you most, and I’ll be here for you whenever you need me. Its not just what families do when they want to show another family member they care, it’s also what friends do to show friends that their friendship is true. I know ours is and I want to keep it this way. No matter what happens or how made we make each other we always bounce back from it, and that’s way we are us. I think its Nan trying to keep us together now since we have finally grew up and accepted each other and get along… seeing that we didn’t do that when we were little. She would be oh so proud of where we have both brought ourselves today. I know she is looking down on us smiling to see her little angels finally getting along.



Love Always,

Your Big Cousin
