Auntie

It's almost been 2 yrs since you went home to rest
can still feel you near,
whenever a friend is needed or listening ear
U were there
You always kept it real wit me,
U explained the change that a young lady must experience
to follow her journey into womanhood
Saw your face at my games cheering for me all the way
It was you that taught me to stand up for myself
It wasn't always easy for you to sit back &
let me find my way but you trusted I would & let me be.
Keeping your arms ajar when needed.
Realizing my selfishness
words could never replace you
memories set fondly in my heart.
Replaying our times together
hoping to hear your laughter,
watching you dance around the house
doin the “kid& Play” or the “Steve Martin”.
A classy kinda of lady
known & loved by everyone she met.
RIP Auntie
