Analysis of Aunt



When I try to think of
Your description in just one word
I start to get an inspiring thought
But my mind and sight get blurred

I begin again to think of you
And remember all your talents
Like reminding us of simple little things
To put our lives back into balance

"Just one word?" I ask myself
With all my wisdom's might
But then I get totally flustered
That my mind has no inspiring light

And then to my amazement it comes
The idea that it's really simple
I think of "aunt" and then
Both sides of my smile have a dimple

For one small word shows to me
The strong bond shown between us two
All the care within our hearts
Just by a hug and "I Love You"
