Uncle Acrostic

UNCLE

under a tree family stories fell to me
next to my uncle the world was opened wide
combatting smiles and tears he told them carefully
little ears are delicate through mayhem suicide
ever watching for my mom,  who’d stop him in mid stride

this is a great way to discuss your uncle in this little uncle acrostic. How are you doing? I really liked reading this tonight.
