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 peace”

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
