Today’s poem was a special request from one of our contributors, it was dedicated to her cousin who sadly passed away and now we post it in her honor. As for the title, 09/14 is actually the day she was born, a very special day for her and all that knew her. Please send her and her family your best wishes as you enjoy this poem.
From us at Her Campus UPR, may she rest in peace.
Some days are bigger than others
Today is a very sour sweet simphony that lingers in my head
So many memories
So many times I lived to see you fly
I can’t express how I feel
Oh dear sister of mine!
Today is your day, and it’s a very far away place you now reside.
I wish you were here
I wish you stayed
Now we only see you as we dream at night
Our love for you is there in the sky
We love you so much, we love you kind heart
Let there be light in those eyes as I hope this poem makes you smile
To my beautiful cousin we lost in the fight.
