Aunt, On Mother’s Day
To my aunt, with a mother's touch,
gentle as the morning's light,
you fill the gaps life leaves too much,
with laughs that make the stars look right.
Not by birth, but by your deeds,
in every hug and healed scrape,
you plant love's most tender seeds,
crafting hope, no form or shape.
On this day, we say your name,
as flowers bloom, so does our praise.
For all you do, and all you claim,
dear aunt, you brighten all our days.

In every trial, you walk the mile,
