My Family

My family
To all the girls I’ve loved before, 
It’s our nieces that step to the fore.
They are all bright and very lovely 
And mean everything to Uncle Ty and me.
The nephews too we will not miss out,
Tall and handsome without a doubt,
A pity we don’t see them much 
But lifes like that, we all lose touch.
To our great nieces and nephews that are here,
We hope they’ll love us as we love them without fear.
 Remember us as we remember you,
 And we pray that you will love us too.
