A Cousin
Hair ties and skirts all around
All but sisters I see
No guy to play with or share a sound
No brother or cousin...none for me
Born and raised with my family I was,
Not I but God can save me now,
Alone I sat all in my flaws,
To Mexico here I go now,
Leaving behind the life I knew
Awaits for me a cousin at last
To my surprise a boy I saw, my smile grew
The time I spent, we had a blast
Straight in the eye, I look at him
"A brother", I thought, I finally had
Sadness crawled up my limb
My smile left, as I was sad
I have to leave, not now but soon
To my life, where all is black
In the summer I will return, maybe May...maybe June
I tell you now...
I will be back
