Dear Aunt

• Artist: Starkiplier
• Description: This is... well... random. Something that I've had on my mind lately. An aunt that I never got to meet in my family. Someone who's death I didn't hear about until I was about 8 or so. Doesn't matter now, but I wonder. Would she like me for a family member?

Dear Aunt in Heaven,
Are you looking in on me?
Dear Aunt, am I what you wanted to see?
Is this what you expected me to be?

Would I be good enough for you?
I wonder as I look into your eyes of blue.
A picture of you, memories of old.
Now how it all seems so cold.

I missed you by eleven years.
I never saw anyone's tears.
I never knew you were here,
Although the truth is now clear.

I would've loved a hug from you.
Would you have loved one from me too?
Dear Aunt, would you have been proud?
Are you now, as you watch me from a cloud?

Will you wait for me one day?
I'd love to talk the day away.
To find out about who you are.
But now you've gone away, all too far.

I can't see you now.
Maybe one day, fate will allow.
I'll see you one day, Aunt of mine.
And we'll meet one day, rain or shine.

Very nice! I love the topic, it's really interesting. You have great grammar and form, that really helps too. Awesome job!

Very touching... I haven't gone though that, but it seems pretty painful. I like how once you started rhyming, it went the same way throughout, and you didn't bounce back and forth between rhyming and not. 3nodding
