A Love Letter To My Cousin Poem by Todd Jones

When the thunder screams indignant and chaos wrecks your fragile spirit.
Remember that I love you.
When hours march in time like forever
Remember that I love you.
You are my cousin
I love you
you are not alone
I see you cousin
I see you
I see your smile
I see your heart
I see your sorrow
I see the horror
My heart sinks because I see you
My heart breaks because I love you
Your of age now to understand
Its not your fault
Its not your fault
because its not your fault
The thunder will continue to howl its mighty howls
Chaos will continue to spin its unholy spin
Hear the hope I have for you in my words
See the hope I have for you in my eyes
Feel the hope I have for you in my arms
Remember that I love you
Plan for a better tomorrow now
If you fail to plan
You have a plan to fail
I refuse to believe this is it for you
I see so much more
You are 17 I am 38
and all I can say is keep grinding
keep grinding cousin
Because I love you
This is your time to shine in the darkest of hours
Show all the doubters what you can do.
Don't fail yourself
Achieve for yourself and for the small one inside of you
I see you cousin
I see you and you are beautiful
I see you cousin and I love you
