In the quiet of the evening, where shadows softly creep,
Two cousins meet in laughter, in memories, and in sleep.
One wears a heart of sunlight, a fierce and guiding flame,
The other walks through darkness, yet struggles not in shame.
They shared a bond unbroken, a tether in the storm,
One's gentle strength a refuge, the other’s spirit warm.
In moments when the world felt heavy, when silence held its breath,
The brighter cousin stood beside, a beacon 'gainst the death.
With every whispered secret, with every joyful jest,
The weight of life was lighter, together feeling blessed.
When shadows loomed like thunder, when doubt began to creep,
The hand that reached for solace saved a soul that yearned for sleep.
Through trials intertwined, in laughter and despair,
Each heartbeat told a story, a testament to care.
For one was like a whisper, singing songs of hope and light,
While the other, in their journey, found strength to face the night.
And when the darkest hour came, when silence dared to win,
The firm embrace of love was where true life could begin.
Without the light that shone so bright, the other would be lost,
Dependent on the joy and warmth, no matter what the cost.
So here’s to bonds unyielding, to cousins holding fast,
In a world of fleeting moments, may their love forever last.
For in the dance of shadows, where one may falter and fall,
The other stands in courage, the heartbeat behind it all.
