Family Bond
Forty years ago today,
My sister bore a child
When I saw her baby girl
I recall I really smiled
I myself was still a child
I was only 12 years old
I loved this little girl so much
To me she was precious as gold
Over time I watched her grow
Our bond was very unique
I loved to hear her little voice
When she was learning to speak
This little girl was oh so shy
And the cutest there could be
A charming little character
This was plain to see
Life went by we grew so close
She became my special friend
As we matured we've grown to know
On each other we can depend
She's loyal to her family
Shows care and devotion each day
She's also loving and giving
Shows kindness in every way
She's now a beautiful adult
And has children of her own
She's such a lovely person
In her body not one bad bone.
I'm happy to say this woman's my niece
She's a gift from the heavens above
She really is one special lady
Who's so very easy to love
I thank my very dear sister
For sharing her daughter with me
With this kind deed I really am
The luckiest Aunt that there could be
