my dear aunt
oh auntie
i cannot tell you how much i appreciate
everything you have done for me
the gifts
the stories
the books
the jokes
the compliments
the encouragements
and most of all
the time you gave me
thank you for
spending so much time with me
when no one else wanted to
i'll miss you a lot, auntie
don't forget our talks all night
don't forget your home made ice cream i fell in love with
don't forget my thank you cards
don't forget me
i love you to the moon and back
and i'm sorry, auntie julia
