My Eight Year Old Niece

You were the first to make me an aunt That's why I hold you so close to my heart Your the light that brightens my world Nothing can break us apart As I held you for the first time With your little fingers wrapped around mine All the joy and happiness came upon me Which at the time was hard to find From slippers to sneakers From onesies to jeans You've grown from a little princess to beautiful queen As I continue to watch you grow I also grow to From the lost young girl To the mature aunt I continue to be to you So know I'm always here for you I'll never be out of reach Happy 8th birthday to my beautiful and intelligent niece
