Ok here is another poem I wrote. I dedicated this one to my late cousin, may she rest in peace. It took me a long time to be able to put the words to paper. She died when she and I were both 14, we were close and she was more like a best friend than any friend I had at the time. It took me till I was 29 years old to finally finish it, I hope you like it:

Childhood Dreams - Dedicated to the memory of Marie Annette Lovely

A time of innocence and wonder
When dreams and fantasy rule
A young carefree child plays
Friends, family and loved ones laugh
Playing hide and seek, or cops and robbers
Even the times when she plays doctor
Show and tell at school
Learning to share and play fair
Getting grounded when bad
Receiving hugs and love when sad
Staying up late when good
Doing all the things a little girl should
She wanted to be a wife
She wanted to be a mother
She wanted to be a doctor
Or maybe a lawyer
She grew up fast and grew up strong
Caring and sweet to all around
She was a cousin, a daughter
A niece and grandchild
Those who knew her, loved her
She was there to help and care
There for all in need
She was taken all too suddenly
By fate or by inaction
We all lost someone special
Too young to die, but gone just the same
Lets all remember
Those childhood dreams
