Cousins Are Our Siblings Once Removed

August 4, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is family.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A poem about the beauty of relationships with cousins:

Cousins are our siblings once removed,

Our relatives without the complications.

Unsatisfying as some friends may prove,

Sweet cousins are the purest of relations.

In cousins there's a friendship of the blood.

No friends can share such deeply shared sensations,

So long-lasting, honest, rich, and good.
