(After posting a poem about my nephew, my niece requested one about her...so here goes....)


On the thirty -first of May nineteen sixty-nine
a little baby girl did enter this world.
She was small and pink this niece of mine
but loved by all...a real little pearl.

When she was small and living with her Nanna
she was a bit of a terror with things.
She loved her food especially banana
and on the clothesline she loved to swing.

At the tender age of four years
a cruel act of nature she was to face.
But with the love of family and a Father so dear
she survived and lived the human race.

The setback didn't bother her at all
there were no obstacles on her plate.
She was a champion with a hockey ball
in fact she played hockey for her state.

After going to school for awhile
she learnt to read and write.
Then it was parties and smiles
as a young lady emerged overnight.

This young lady soon became a woman
and to her a baby boy was born.
He was her pride and joy, this little man
so loved and so adored.

Soon she found the man of her dreams
and they bacame man and wife.
Then once again her heart did gleam
When two little girls came into their life.

As she enters another chapter in her life
she can rest easy as things begin to unfold.
She knows she was a good mother and wife
but some things are best left untold.


To you my niece, I wish you all the best
of luck and love in your new situation.
You really deserve lots of happiness
and love from someone with lots of imagination.

She'll love this Jos! beautiful!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Sounds like your niece is very special to you, and I think she must be proud of you for writing this wonderful poem for her. You have showed how precious any life can be through your love for her.

What a lovely tribute to your niece. She should love it!


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
