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.

This poem originally was published in Sad Poems - Poems about Death

My Cousin
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.

    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.

    Even though this was to your cousin it made me think of my ex-boyfriend Jonathan Graves. Jonathan died in a car crash on Feburary 2, 2005. I loved him with all of my heart and we went out for almost 4 years. He always had a great smile and could always make me laugh. Maybe thats why we were so great with eachother. Well I miss him with all of my heart. And I know how it is to lose someone you love. Amanda

  • Caprise
    i really love that poem because it really describe all the love that our family have for him. he died 9 months ago and his love still reminds in our heart we never really knew how it happened but God wonted him home. he lived such a shortt life but he was the best man on this earth that ever lived. i cant say anything bad about himn because he never did wrong all the children loved and also adults and if he was still here right now and something went wrong all he would say is "a family that prays together stays together"! that was his favorite quote and i will never forget that. HE WAS THE BEST MAN THAT EVER LIVED AND HE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN MY HEART! R. I. P "MOOSTY"
  • bren!
    my cousin Aron died on the 8th june 2003!he went into hospital with aches and pains and died within 3 months. it was really hard and still is. theres so many question which we might never find the answer to. we never get over it we just eventully find a way to cope with it. your poem is really good and its really touching. its just so hard to understand why we have to go through these kind of things. just remember our departed will always look over us!

  • chey-anne
    Great poem , you should do more im 13 and have lost around 10 friends and 5 relatives in the last 5 yrs. just this year ive lost 2 and last year i lost a cousin in a motorcycle accident he was 21 and i loved him alot . supposably , he either got hit by a bird and then swirved and didnt see a trailer go by , broke his neck and died. other people say he was being chased by the police , they hit him from behind and took off(which i think is true) it was pratically proven. hit and run what is this world coming to? and the other deaths are either cancer or car accidents or being drunk.

    i lost my cousin almost6 years ago, when we were only 16 years old. he was born with a hole in his heart, and the dr. said he would not live to see his 16th birthday. we were very close growing up, and we always knew that time would come. but still after all this time i still love and miss him with each passing day. i really liked this poem, it made me smile to think of him again! thanks!
