Danika
I smile when you smile,
I laugh when you laugh,
I’ll do what ever you ask,
You’ve got me wrapped around your finger,
You’ve got me thinking of you all the time,
You make my heart explode when you shine,
My love wraps around you,
My need for you stretches,
My mind when it thinks of you catches,
We have our lives connected,
We share the same blood and skin,
We could have more in common things,
I watch you as you run,
Run about on your little legs,
Legs that will help you knock down life’s pegs,
You play in the sand,
Sand that encompasses you like my love,
Love so strong I feel it might shove,
We have the same long limbs,
Limbs the same as grandpa’s too,
Too similar we are in our bodies and in what we do,
My eyes watch you grow,
Grow and learn to be who you are,
Are that defines my love that can’t be held by bars,
“Auntie?” you call,
Call my name to come,
Come I do to have some fun,
I reach you and smother you in kisses,
Kisses that you cringe away from, but you smile,
A smile that shows how much you love me too all the while,
