HER AUNT
Now it seems you’re all alone,
Your brothers and sisters all have gone.
But alone you’ll never be,
With nephews and nieces such as her.
All their parents too have gone,
But in you, part of them still lives on.
They love you near and far away,
A love that’s true and there to stay.
So don’t be sad and lonely this day,
Remember the good time before they went away.
They’re in Heaven where there’s no fear or pain,
Just love and family together again.
Someday when your work on earth is through,
Love will let you join them too.
In the meantime you must know,
They here on earth love you so.
