Nfiece
THIS IS THE LAST PART OF MY ODE,
NOW THAT YOU ARE MOVING TO A DIFFERENT ABODE.
STRUGGLING FOR WORDS WE SAY OUR GOODBYES,
WIPING THE TEARS FROM OUR EYES.
LIFE AGAIN WILL NEVER BE THE SAME,
A DIFFERENT TOWN A DIFFERENT NAME.
ENGROSSED IN YOUR NEW LIFE YOU WILL FORGET,
WHO I WAS OR IF WE HAD EVER MET.
THE GIFT THAT YOU BROUGHT WITH YOUR BIRTH,
THE JOY, THE SORROW, THE LAUGHTER, THE MIRTH.
I’LL PRAY YOU HAVE A JOYFUL FUTURE MY LITTLE NIECE,
HEALTH, WEALTH, AND HAPPINESS ALSO IF IT PLEASE.
THIS POEM IS A REFLECTION OF MY LOVE, WITHOUT A WORD OF A LIE,
YOU WILL BE IN MY HEART UNTIL THE DAY THAT I DIE.
YOU WERE THE ONE I CARED FOR AS MY OWN,
NOW THAT YOU ARE WED I AM VERY ALONE.
