A Legacy of Kindness
They say that aunts are treasures,
And now I know it’s true,
For no one else could fill the space
That’s left behind by you.
Your kindness was a quiet gift,
Your smile, a ray of sun,
And though your journey here is through,
Your work is never done.
It lives in us, in how we love,
In how we stand up tall,
The greatest aunt, a kindred soul,
The bravest of us all.
Love you auntie, Take your rest
