Sudden Loss
10 years ago
Tragedy came into play,
Unfortunately for our family
You could no longer stay.
For you were truly special
and must have been needed above,
To always watch over
the ones that you love.
“He only takes the best”
people would often say
Well he took the most beautiful
On that god awful day.
Why he chose you then
I will never fully know,
You had so much life in you
You just weren’t ready to go.
But I have to believe
That there was a reason why
You were taken so suddenly
Without the chance to say goodbye.
As the wind whispers
My name I hear you say
And when I feel upset
My tears you wipe away.
I will never know the reason
Our lives had to change that day
All I truly know is
you’re never far away.
For when I speak you listen
As we aren’t actually apart
Because my beautiful cousin
You will always be in my heart
