Oh, My Sweet Aunt Sally

My aunt Sally is honorable indeed;

her advice is the best, which I heed. 

She is serviceable to many through her work as a nurse.

She is headstrong, but at times her stubborn rebukes may be terse.

She reassures me that there is always sunshine after a storm. 

When I am feeling down, I call on her and now it seems like the norm.

Never full of greed, 

she loves to give to those in need.

She spoils me without a care.

For her to be rude, is very rare.

She is graceful and intelligent.

She has a youthful look, despite her older age, and is very elegant.

My aunt Sally never fails to do a good deed.

She is always willing to take initiative and lead.

When she went through hardships and illness,

she prayed and persevered with fearlessness.

I will always look up to her and her smart, kind ways;  

empowering through her wondrous gaze, 

Artistic view of the significance of life

She threads optimistically through life’s strife.
