The news shattered my heart into pieces,
hearing that you were gone,
caused me to lose my appetite instantly.
We were close, and you were best cousin I had.
Even though there were times we fought, we always made up in no time.
At your funeral, reality really did hit me;
You were really gone.
It ached my heart to see you lying there, so helpless.
I couldn’t hold the tears anymore, I allowed it all to flow freely,
As I cried my eyes out in my mother’s arms.
You were really gone,
and I was never going to be able to see you again.
But I know you’re resting in that beautiful garden on the other side.
Continue to rest in sweet paradise until we meet again.
