Aunts and uncles are like sunlit days: Under their bright smiles children bloom. No parents can remove, in just the ways That aunts and uncles do, mid-morning gloom. So when children need some extra love, Aunts and uncles are like natural springs: No tap need turn, nor word need passions move. Deep down within the sparkling pleasure sings. Until all parents are like Eden's garden: Never less than innocent perfection, Children well might learn, before they harden, Lessons in disinterested affection. Even as a smile lights a face, So may aunts and uncles childhood grace. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
