Elegy to My Cousin
God sent an angel down to earth
to bring beauty, light, and hope.
Your radiant smile always gave comfort,
those smooth, soft hands, caring and kind
gave delight even to the blind.
Your diamond pretty eyes are engraved in many hearts
Those shiny, bouncy, spirals framed your perfect face
After only 19 years of pleasing us
God decided it had been enough.
He needed his angel back in heaven
so he called for you and you flew to him
But why I ask, did God not see
the pain that you would leave to me.
