My Dear Aunt

When I think of my dear Aunt Sheila
A great big smile comes across my face
You see, no matter what the circumstances in life
Her will would never break
Compassionate love she gave to all
Evident in all of her blissful ways
Family was first, this I know for sure
In all of her caring days
Oh my dear Aunt Sheila had herself a wit
With a smile at least a mile long
Whether she was conversing with friends or family
Heck even listening to a good ol' country song
Mother, Aunt, Wife, Sister, Daughter, Grandma and GG-all terms
But one describes her just right
A beautiful soul always to be missed
An angel living in heavenly sunlight
Go be with Jesus my dearest Aunt 
Let your smile brighten Heavens gate
For we know we shall see you again
In Paradise-where you await

What a wonderful tribute for your aunt Sheila. You are "good people" Matt, that is clear. I have not seen my favorite aunt since I graduated high school in '73. Her name is Joann and she was fat and happy and she is still alive today. I wonder if I will ever get to see her again!

this was a great piece written about your aunt, touched me deeply. all of my aunts are passed on i have only one uncle and he is or will be 93 this year. my mom and dad are both gone, so this one got to me. thank you for reading Our Dog Dusty and for your comment. yes dogs are special, i still cry about my dog shep and he died in 1960, dusty was taken from us in 1960 by someone, and my dog murphy died last year, so i know what you mean. check out my other poems about my poems about them.
