TO APRIL AND JEREMY NELSON

I remember that horrific day;
The day you went away.
I remember telling myself it wasn't true,
But then I slowly approached you.
Your eyes closed as if you slept.
I tried not to cry as the others wept.
I stared at you and Jeremy Nelson.
And I wondered why you were chosen.
I saw Jeremy's hands and his feet.
Oh, so small, and oh, so sweet.
His face like an angel just sleeping.
I wondered if I was only dreaming.
Then I felt your hand; stiff and cold.
I realized then, you were at heavens gates of gold.
I longed to cry, but forgot how.
I knew you were dead but I was still in doubt.
I passed you by after I kissed your head.
"Goodbye my cousins," were the last words I said.
I miss you now that you are gone.
But I always tell myself that you still live on.
