Alone
I am the hot sun reflecting on a sparkling lake
I am a light bulb in a lone child's mind
I am close, yet so far away
I am the song you're sung to sleep with
I am the child of your dreams and worst nightmares
I am the black cat that loves to play
I am the loneliness of an only child
I am a rainbow, yet I am the moon
I am the money that will come soon
I am the teddy bear you hug so close
I am the traveler, yet I try not to boast
I am the cousin that I loved so dear
I wish
I wish that you were still here
I wish
I wish that you were still near
I hope
I hope you will come back somehow
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye, just for now
by Tanika Mckinley, 11 years old, dedicated to her cousin, Ella Hinds

Tanika, what a lovely tribute to Ella. You are a precious cousin, and we appreciate this poem. Love, Grandma and Grandpa Hinds
Tanika, You have talent in writing. Perhaps Tom can guide you in developing this as you grow. Thanks for the tribute to Ella. Kathi (Shannon's mom)
I think that is the most beautiful message
ever! I have a cousin the same age as
Ella was when she died and I can't imagine
how it would be losing him
I love this poem!
Love Leah and Claire and Isabelle
