A Tribute To My Aunt

Though I cannot remember it all Those memories that I had when I was still small I thank you for caring for me during one my infancy days When because of sickness both of my parents were away Though my only clear memory of you Was when you stayed at our house for about half a year or so So also thanks for taking care of me way back then For showing concern for me like one of your children Though I rarely get to see you You’re my only aunt that I really get closed to I guess I’m your favorite nephew And you’re my favorite and kindest aunt too I’m sorry for in your last days I’m not in your aid But I assure you aunt I’m now at ease For I’m sure to you the Lord said “Time to rest now my Dear, You have lived a meaningful life, Time to have an everlasting life and peace”
