For Andrew on his 3rd Birthday (May 8, 2004) Cousins You had a wonderful cousin And Christopher is his name You will never really know him And your life won't quite be the same . He held you when you were a baby He smiled when you began to talk He loved to hold your hand As soon as you began to walk. He laughed when he saw you Especially at your curly hair You were his only cousin He loved you beyond compare. He pushed you on the swing And helped you on the slide Whenever you were together You were always side by side. He played with you in the pool And tossed the ball to you He loved to read you books You giggled through and through. You watched him play volleyball It was his very best game Your eyes focused on him As he served and took aim. He saw you after the game On the bleacher stand He swooped you right up And you walked hand and hand. It would be the last time No chance to say goodbye He's watching over you now From high above in the sky. As you continue to grow Think of him all the same You had a wonderful cousin And Christopher is his name. |
