Many years ago our paths crossed
Thoughts similar
An acceptance reciprocated
An affection grew
A bond was formed
Though related through family
A friendship more meaningful developed
Where one can pick up where one last left off
A comfort in the knowledge
That no judgements
Only good wishes came forth
Many years on
We came to be with you
And you opened your heart
Embracing us and going beyond
Strengthening the old bonds
With warmth and affection
Caring for us into the wee hours
Laughter and mirth tinged our days
Whilst long drives and directions
Ruled the nights
Whilst we missed our Mr.C
He was as much part of us
Though from a distance
Evidence that he was not far from our thoughts
How can we thank you
Words are not enough
We are blessed to have you in our lives
Not for what you can do for us
But that we are richer to know you
To be recipients of your warmth and love
Force fed till we groaned
Spoilt by all the time you gave us
Loaded with the gifts we carried away
With beautiful memories created
Of a week too short but time well spent
Cousin M thank you from the bottom of our hearts
Till we meet again
Much love.
