For My Cousin

In the quiet of the evening, as the sun begins to set,

My cousin sits beside her grandmother's bed, filled with regret.

For illness has taken hold, and time is slipping away,

Leaving her heart heavy, unsure of what to say.

She watches as her grandmother sleeps, her breaths shallow and slow,

Memories of laughter and love, now tinged with sorrow.

The weight of the moment hangs heavy in the air,

As she grapples with the reality of life's unfair.

But in the midst of darkness, a flicker of light,

A reminder that love can conquer even the darkest night.

For family is a bond that can never be broken,

A beacon of hope in times when words remain unspoken.

So my dear cousin, hold onto that love,

Let it guide you through the storm, like a hand from above.

For though the road may be long and filled with pain,

Know that you are not alone, and love will remain.

And when the time comes to say goodbye,

Remember the love that will never die.

For in the hearts of those who love her, she will always be near,

A guardian angel watching over, calming every fear.

So take comfort in the memories shared,

And know that your grandmother's love will always be there.

For in the quiet of the evening, as the sun begins to set,

She will be with you always, a love you'll never forget.

Love You Always
