My Six Relatives

MY SIX RELATIVES
                                      
       My six relatives
       Some act positive.
        Some go negative.

        Great maternal uncle of mine
        Respectful, sincere, fine>
        In my sky, as Sun to shine.

         Though paternal uncle crooked,
         selfish, envious, wicked
         collected many hatreds.

         Older cousin sister don’t know to be rude
         always sending blessings in plenitude
          shows me the mirror of my childhood.

         One cousin brother behaves as villain
         Vindictive, sadist, mischievous, insane,
         But all his attempts to harm me went in vain.
 
         My maternal aunt was of jealous type rather.
         Always sought pleasure to hit and hurt other.
        I kept distance all along, didn’t bother.
 
         My paternal aunt was my closest aunt.
         So many affectionate moments to grant
         by my luck to enjoy and enchant.

I think a lot of us have the same kind of families with their own character traits. My story is true too. Congratulations on your win. Hugs Eve
