Cousin Time
So happy is a home where cousins meet;
their smiles and laughter make us feel upbeat,
while aunts and uncles know that life's complete
to watch their children share their love so sweet.
Like brothers, sisters, cousins are so neat;
they play for hours and later they retreat
to their own homes, but know they will repeat
that special time again when cousins meet.

angel, baby, bereavement, heaven, loss, love, mother daughter,
O-n this Easter day God took you up to heaven.
L-ong days and nights followed, especially for your mummy who misses you with an
I-tensity that only a mother can. A
V-acant hole in her heart, forever longing for you.
I-nvisible threads of love will always bind you together, you are mummy's
A-ngel, who is always with her.
Remembering my niece Olivia who left this world twenty two years ago, aged three months.

child, dedication, girl, hope, niece,
May you fall, so you may rise
May your horizons surpass your skies
May your future fill your eyes
May you make mistakes that make you wise
May your laughs outnumber your cries
May you wear your beauty, undisguised
May you stumble, so you may sympathize
May love take you by surprise
May you catch the light of fireflies
May your dreams flower to full size
May you hear your song - and harmonize.

June twenty -first Nineteen eighty-nine
Your father proudly proclaims
This baby girl is mine
Life was never dull with you around
Hope, love and sadness
Could always be found
Family to you was number one
You proved to us many times
The way you raised your son
You battled demons and won the fight
With family and friends
Your future was in sight
The Angels came on Valentines Day
A massive stroke your last fight
February sixteenth they led you away
Go now my beautiful niece
Be with Grandma and Papa
Pain is gone now Rest in Peace

*A POEM FOR MY BELOVED NEICE*
I REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY I SAW YOU AND HELD

TO SEE ME
I HAD BIG PLANS FOR MY NEICE AND I
BUT I NEVER KNEW HER PLAN WAS TO MAKE

PROMISE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR BROTHER AND YOUR PARENTS
THEY WILL BE FINE
MY BABY MEMORIES OF YOU ARE HER E TO STAY

HEAVEN SOME DAY

We have been together
treasured joy now for many years
we trust each other with our
emotions, with affection, tears,
Any day when you are sick or hurting
I feel your pain - significant other,
when either-one needs attention
we help one another...
These mutual friendly feelings
for assistance, approval, support
form our tight bonds,
usually never broken
Sharing visions, time together
we respect each other,
regardless of shortcomings
I know you, "I love you anyway"

Categories:
family, love, niece,
such innocent beauty is yours
my tender, fragile soul
the light in your eyes
reflecting the true loveliness
deep within that does arise
your smile my dear
captivates the heart
as you lie in my arms so near
a true work of art ?

You do not stand alone in your Battle
Your battle is our Battle
We may not be there in body
But we are there with you in Spirit
We are there in every beat of your Heart
In every whisper of the wind
In every thought and every touch
Every breath and every sound
We are there with you
You are wrapped in an Endless chain of Love
In every link we each send you a part of us
We send you some of our Strength
Some of our will to Fight
Some of our Courage
The most important of them all
We send you all of our Love
If you feel you need more
Just give that Endless chain a little tug
And we'll be there
For my Aunt Wilma Thomas Gamble

age, birth, family, i love you, niece, sister, youth,
You were the first to make me an aunt
That's why I hold you so close to my heart
Your the light that brightens my world
Nothing can break us apart
As I held you for the first time
With your little fingers wrapped around mine
All the joy and happiness came upon me
Which at the time was hard to find
From slippers to sneakers
From onesies to jeans
You've grown from a little princess to beautiful queen
As I continue to watch you grow
I also grow to
From the lost young girl
To the mature aunt I continue to be to you
So know I'm always here for you
I'll never be out of reach
Happy 8th birthday to my beautiful and intelligent niece

Cute as a Button (for girls)
(Darla Mae Seely)
I look at your cute little nose
And how you wiggle your toes.
I love how you smile at me.
You're cute as a button, don't you agree?
I look at the darling clothes you wear
And the tiny bow in your hair.
You seem to say to me,
"I'm as cute as I can be."
You're cute as a button, yes, you are.
You were sent to earth from heaven afar.
I love you, niece/daughter/etc. I hope you know.
I will always tell you so.

dedication, family, love,
Bubbly with laughter and beautiful as turtledoves
Running ever faster
But only fast enough to catch
My love
Let her live a happy eternity
Hardships be lost
Any cost for her is never too much
For me
Her smile is my greatest treasure
No tears allowed
When Aunty Reecie is around to
Stay forever.
~Reecie
P.S. It's meant to be read as a loop so each stanza connects to the one before and so the final line of each is not only an ending but a begining to the next part. This poem never ends, essentially, because my love for her will never end.

THIS POEM WAS WRITTEN BY MY GREAT NIECE
AND DESERVES AN A7 IN MY OPINION.
SHE IS 12 YEARS OLD AND HER NAME IS GRACE LIN.
If everyone laughed,
If everyone smiled,
If everyone beamed,
They'd have the gift of family.
If everyone was happy,
If everyone was loved,
If everyone was positive,
They'd have the gift of family.
If nobody frowned,
If nobody cried,
If nobody complained,
They'd have the gift of family.
Family:
Is everlasting,
Is powerful,
Is the greatest gift of all.

I love you I love you, I could never say it enough.
I love you I love you, may you never grow old because additional years make times tough.
I love you I love you, may you never stop smiling, because as long as you smile, you will provide light even to the darkest days.
I love you I love you, my arms are always open and prayers wrapped around you no matter the day.
I love you I love you, I wish that forever you could stay this age.
This way I would never have to put these memories in the past or turn times unforgivable page.
And tell you I miss you I miss you, when will I see you again?
P.S. I love you, can forever young be the end?

I remember it now
Not all, but enough
To understand how
I am afraid to accept love
Because some love hurts
Especially the kind you gave
The kind nobody deserves
The kind that plants the seed of hate
It matters little if you feel remorse
Your guilt could never ease my pain
The damage you did cannot be reversed
I still wear the residue of shame
And you will never have my forgiveness
My hatred will be your only companion
As you lie upon your deathbed
Feeling frightened and abandoned
You still won't even have my pity
Pathetic as you are
All you will ever be is what you did to me
As I will always bear these ugly scars

To the beautiful Ella, Aunt Karen is teaching
Displaying how to play, the ukulele.. Ella is eager, she is reaching
And with every strum - a youthful new talent is breaching
Intriguing her with melodious sounds, to her, the tone is preaching
She resonates to the harmonized beats, that her soul is not impeaching

When you are far from home,
Never give up on life,
Cause your family,
Will always be with you,
In you caring heart,
Even when the times,
Get difficult and tough,
And make you want to give up,
They are always there,
For you to turn too,
And show you a way,
To find the peace,
And happiness you need,
In your caring and loving life,
So that one day,
You will find the true love,
That you most certainly deserve,
For that loving heart,
Which is a true fact,
It is a very big heart that cares,
For more than just the person you are,
But those around you,
And the family you have in your life.

Little Kinley Raine warrior of light,
When you came into this world
You came in ready to fight.
Our thoughts were full of Prayers
hoping for you to have a chance,
Although we were on a mental coaster
We held our ground with a positive stance.
After a Month God decided it was to soon
for you to stay with us and bloom,
It's hard for all of us but we understand
other plans were in-store for you.
My little niece meeting you was a pleasure,
I wish we could've spent more time together.
Kinley we love you and miss your adorable
face, When you get a chances to sneak away
come back down here and give us a spiritual
Embrace. R.I.P Kinley Raine.

Beautiful and kind
She does not know
Reasons for hurting
As she rapidly grows
I remember the little tomboy
Dressed in tees and tennis shoes
Vowing she’d never give into
Societal prissy views
But give in she did
As the child became a teen
Astounding beauty with a purpose
Still trying to remain unseen
My niece and my Goddaughter
A special place already set aside
For my little boisterous tomboy
Inside my heart you’ll forever reside

baby, beautiful, love, niece,
That one brown tuff of hair sticking up
gray eyes not yet turned
Begging for knowledge not yet learned
The forehead and thick eyebrows are her fathers
As much as her round face and crooked pinky toe is surely her mother's
A double chin that holds any spilled food in
And the rolls on those chubby legs
Funny how genetics are passed from nearest kin
That smile can light up a room
Such beauty in watching a child bloom
*NOTE: For my little niece. Love her to death I had to write something about her. :)

Always wrapped in my arms
with hugs that just come naturally
Unique in your very own special way
with that spectacular flair
Delightful dazzling dances, and to be so daring
with those acrobatic stunts
Really silly laughter of giggles
that are a constant flow of joy
Everyday the love that you bring into my life
will last forever....because
You are "My Little Sunshine"!

As the sun shines so brightly
I am always playing cheerfully
Makes me realize that I have grown into
An energetic personality I can call my own;
Excited about being close to Mommy & Daddy
They're so special!
Playing with my sister
And even looking for a seashell.
Listening to my heart and soul
When expressing my feelings in art
Or whatever I like to do;
I live in a world of happiness and joy,
Of confidence & determination
That special glow;
Always surrounded by the love
That I have come to know.

My Auntie
When I was hopeless you were there
you picked me up, you showed me care.
Without the love you had for me
God only knows where I would be.
To me you were a second mom
a person I drew wisdom from.
In my corner every fight
you always cared that things were right.
I won't forget the things you've done
I felt like the adopted one
Ready now and feeling new
I couldn't leave not thanking you.

best friend, love, niece,
She sits with patience and holds her with care.
Teaching lil Ella to play her natural flair.
A godsend indeed, yet both so rare.
A special bond they both hold that none can compare,
Captured in a priceless memory that they will forever share.
