Cousins, the links between children
Of siblings, now our aunts and uncles
We are almost like brothers and sisters
But not, first and second cousins
Family, we meet at annual reunions or
To grieve at sad occasions like funerals
Or joyous occasions as family marriages,
Sharing birthdays and special anniversaries
Or when new little ones join our clan
Eternally linked by our common heritage
And experiences together from our youth
We share grandparents long departed from us
Memories of days past, severe trials that we
Each have had to overcome-whether health
Or family or personal do bind us together
As we reach out in support to each other
And express our eternal love and family unity
We will always and forever be linked together
