Thank you, Aunt Kangi's Sweethearts... for every day you live is my reason to rejoice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There were three
grew up to be
Sisters and best friends
Now three more
walk through my door
God’s blessings never end…

These precious three -
though not of me,
woman without child...
run through my veins
and all their names
are calling to my heart ~~

Eldest brought from youngest
a Queen of strength and speed
Her laugh out-glows the very sun
She’s beautiful, indeed

Then came our graceful flower
a Rosebud tightly curled
An angel’s face revealed
as petals slow unfurled

Now youngest brought from eldest
A Princess with a sassy smile
In her eyes I see my own,
shared with my sister’s child

They are the greatest gifts
I ever have received
None could ever be more loved,
my darlings... my three

Such a loving poem. Those you have written of are blessed with one such as yourself. Enjoyed. Chris

I have a precious aunt, myself...
we were not that far apart in age...
so this is very special indeed...

thank you, Caroline!
