My Cousin

by

Sherene Delgado

I see your smile
A smile that has never changed
Your once innocent brown eyes are now full of the knowledge the world has given you
Your once empty heart is now full of what life has given you
The pain,
The laughter
When experiencing one we often forget the other
You’re leaving soon cousin
Off to find your own path in the world
When you leave
You leave behind the past
But you take your knowledge with you
With each tear you have shed you became stronger
For the knowledge helped you grow and move on
Each time your heart was torn
I sat and watched until it was mended
Knowing you carried the knowledge of how it feels to love
Knowledge that I know has taught you how you want to be loved
As a new dawn arrives
So does a new day
As well as a new lesson in life
Whether they be good or bad
Enjoy all life has to give
Because no matter the outcome in the end always know to me...

You’re perfect the way you are
