My Auntie

My Auntie                

                

When I was hopeless you were there

you picked me up, you showed me care.

Without the love you had for me

God only knows where I would be.


To me you were a second mom

a person I drew wisdom from.

In my corner every fight

you always cared that things were right.


I won't forget the things you've done

I felt like the adopted one

Ready now and feeling new

I couldn't leave not thanking you.

I thought this most charming and a wonderful tribute to your aunt! I wish all of soup could read this...but in order to attack attention ..."Do You Have An Aunt?" just a thought for a new title wave! I know...I know... I should keep quiet! Love the poem....Thanks
