There are photos of our childhood
                          Our long ago sweet neighborhood      
                              And  your  golden angel face
                               Another time, another place   

                       You were my cousin, but brother to me
                          Living with us till I was nearly three
                               You were over five years old
                             An angelic smile of purest gold
                
                          How could our hearts differentiate
                         And how this would affect your fate
                       When your dad married someone new
                       Your heart was torn, and ours was too
                  
                              Quite suddenly, miles apart
                          Breaking  all us children's  hearts
                           Part of us six, was all you knew
                      Then an only child, in a new town too
                
                       You were our cousin, but our brother
                     You suddenly had a brand new mother
                          We cried for us, we cried for you
                            It was a shock, it felt untrue
                   
                        Memories, of you and all our joys
                       You'd given me some of your toys
                       And I remembered how we'd play
                       When all was well,  day after day
             
                    How could we not take it for granted
                   How could we know the future slanted
             Visits slowed, and stopped, then came our teens
                          Seven years were in between
                       
                                   December 1975, 
                     We finally took that long, long drive
                       It was so good to see your face!
                     My brother dear past time & space.
           
                    But then you vanished without a trace
                
                         Thirty-seven years....I prayed
                    All those years I'd wished you stayed
                       My big brother as once I'd known
                    And in our home you could have grown
           
                    Finally, you came back with your wife
                      I thought we had you back for life.
                     You'd been broken in younger years,
                  She'd helped you dry some of those tears.
               
                             Then you left permanently
                                   Do you hear me?
                                     Can you see?
                           The horror, tears and misery?
          
                            Now the pain can never heal.
                                 The liar came to steal
                                          And kill
                          Why did you let him do his will?
             
                        There are photos of our childhood
                        Our long ago sweet neighborhood      
                            Of your  golden angel face
                           Another time, another place    
         
                    They cannot dry these heart felt tears
               Though you've been gone these seven years
                    The tears can never fully be dried
                    My cousin, since the day you died
                           
                      Can you hear me? Do you see?
                      Love lives past earth's boundaries
                      How I've longed to see your face!
                     My brother, past this time & space.
