Trinity, My Darling Niece

Bubbly with laughter and beautiful as turtledoves
Running ever faster
But only fast enough to catch
My love
   Let her live a happy eternity
Hardships be lost
Any cost for her is never too much
For me
    Her smile is my greatest treasure
No tears allowed
When Aunty Reecie is around to
Stay forever.

~Reecie
P.S. It's meant to be read as a loop so each stanza connects to the one before and so the final line of each is not only an ending but a begining to the next part. This poem never ends, essentially, because my love for her will never end.
