To my cousin Luke
The cousin I never got to know
My cousin who left this world as a baby
There are things I want to say
Though you have parted from this world
I know I can communicate this to you
There are so many parts of this world
The good and the bad
I wish you could have experienced the good
The good that makes this world a world of God
But I know you are in heaven now
Walking with God
Watching over the family
Watching over your mother and father
Who loved you very much
Watching over your brothers and sisters
Who too loved you very much
And still love you very much
I wish I could have gotten to know you
I would have had another older cousin
To have family love for me
In which I would have returned the love
You died when I was in my mothers’ womb
For some reason I feel I do know you
I know you are watching over me as well
You weren’t in any pain
You weren’t dying of any sickness
You just died
You left this world
As an innocence
An innocence that God wanted in heaven
Maybe it’s all apart of his plan
You have great brothers
And a great sister
You have great cousins
And great parents
We all love you
I love you
I may not know what love is yet
But you do now that you are with God
And when the time comes that I do understand love
I’ll know in my heart
That you passed for a purpose
And that you did not die in vain
I’ll know that you left to a greater place
Though we would have made a heaven on earth for you
Though you are separated from this world
You are not separated from my heart
Or my mind
I think about you from time to time
Now more then ever
I think of how great a cousin you would have been
How great of a cousin you are
And always have been
Coming from my heart
And seeping from my soul
Are things that I can’t just say once
There are so many things I wish to tell you
But I think I love you is enough for now
