Cousins Poem by Grace Hays

Two little kids
playing out in the country
One my little sandy blonde girl
The other my little blonde nephew
Both cute as can be
Exploring the woods
looking for interesting bugs and worms
Oblivious to the world
they set off on their adventure
to go see the woods and what it holds
They have just met each other
for the very first time
And it is oh so hard to separate them
especially so my little girl and I
can go back home
It makes me laugh every time I hear her say
“Can I talk to my cousin? ”
“Can I go see my cousin again? ”
“Will you take me to see my cousin on your next day off? ”
All I can do is sit here and say
“Wait ‘til July when we get to take our vacation.”
Max and MistyRaine
cousins long before they met
and cousins ‘til the end
Happy to be near one another
these two sweet little cousins
