I AM THE AUNT WHO'LL LET YOU GO AWAY

I am the aunt who set up the kiddie pool,
I am the aunt who swam tho' the water was cool.

I am the aunt who encourages your creative blog,
I am the aunt who shines in sunlight, rain, and fog.

I am the aunt who takes you to neat-o fun places,
I am the aunt who makes strange noises and funny faces.

I am the aunt who loves you forever and ever,
I am the aunt who never says never, no never.

I am the aunt who gardens, crafts, and sews,

I am the aunt who lets you step on my toes.

I am the aunt who gives you a room in my home,

I am the aunt who never lets you feel alone.

I am the aunt teaching you about God's love,

I am the aunt teaching you about heaven above.

I am the aunt who is your Godmother,

I am the aunt who is your second-mother.

I am the aunt who lets you visit and stay,

I am the aunt who knows one day you'll go away.
