PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Graduation came and went.
Only one thing remains amiss.
My cousin wasn't there
to share
in my milestone and care.
Why did God ever take him from me?
I wish I could see
just one glimpse of where he's at now,
but no one knows how.
I'm growing up and he's missing out,
if only, he could come about.
I drive now and have a car,
but even with that I can't get to him because it's too far.
College is nearing,
but missing him has me tearing.
If I could just touch his face or hold his hand,
forever with him I would stand.
I'd tell him everything I could and more.
Maybe, he'd show me where he's been with a tour.
I can only dream
for his afterlife isn't ready to be seen.
His ghostly presence is felt and some light can be viewed at times spread apart,
but that doesn't heal my mourning heart.
