The Bond Of A Cousin

A poem for my baby cousin who I don't get to see very often and is growing up far to fast...

I held your little hand,
I counted your little toes.
I tickled your little feet,
I kissed your little nose.

We've read fun stories,
I got to kiss you good night,
We've watched funny movies,
I get to cuddle you tight.

Everyday you grow more and more,
I still love you as much as day one.
Reading books or playing games,
We continue to have loads of fun.

We don't get to see you much anymore,
I wish you didn't live so far away.
Each cuddle goodbye breaks my heart,
Living opposite us I wish you would stay.

Be reassured my special little man,
No matter how far apart we are.
No matter how many oceans between us,
You'll always be my little star.

I'll always be there to help you out,
For my entire life I'll stand by your side.
In whatever you manage to achieve,
"That's my cousin" I'll say with pride!
