Reflections of a Poet

I Hang My Cousin on the Wall

I Hang My Cousin on the Wall
(for David)

I hang my cousin on the wall
with much admiration and joy.
I still can clearly remember
when he was just a boy.

Now he’s a prize-winning photographer,
and it’s only the beginning my friend.
And as I hang him on the wall,
I’m so proud that he’s my kin!
