Cousins
Most have several, others dozens
But it's nice to have some cousins.
Unlike siblings, who may fight,
Cousins get along all right.
With connections formed when young,
Cousins count as those among
The people who go way way back
And know your strengths or what you lack.
Of course, some cousins grow apart
Or never let a friendship start
But if you're lucky, you may find
Support from years you've left behind.
For cousins can remind us how
We used to be, compared to now.
