Yaminah McAfee-Horne

First Cousins Remembering the Times Ecclesiastes 3:1 says To Everything there is a season and a time Today as we give tribute to Our Cousin We are remembering through these lines. The scripture says: A time to be born, A time to die Our Cousins circle has been broken again, we struggle with why. The scripture also says: A time to mourn, A Time to dance, God knows how we feel so we thank him for another chance, To Celebrate our Cousin in this Sad but an Awesome way, By Remembering the times when we got together back in the day: At Aunt Halimah and Uncle Asadi’s place, But we can’t forget those times at Big Mama’s house and Mother’s we say, Then again we remember the times we had at Aunt Helen’s, Uncle Herman’s and Aunt Jo Ann’s in that day, In each of those houses so much Love was shown in an awesome way. We also remember the times when Cousins stuck together and got together Well this is the time when the Cousins get together, mourn together, cry together while remembering this day. When we celebrate our Cousin’s home going to that special place, The scripture says: A Time To war, A Time at Peace. Well our Cousin will no longer have to fight the war of life, Our Cousin is at Peace, God has taken her home so no more pain, misery or strife. So now Cousins we will remember the times when it was fun, Although our circle has been broken again, the rest of our Cousins have time to bond. Although it’s sad we Celebrate our Cousin Yaminah on this day,

Our Cousins Circle has been broken again still we must reach out, and gather to say, We love each other and show each other love more each and every day.

Love, Cousin
