Aunt Laura

Aunt Laura(Dec 2011)

What can I say
Except, “I love you”
Your glow
Has brightened my life
In every way
I have looked up to you
For as long as I remember
Even though I am taller now
I still do

You inspire me
To learn
To fight
To be the best version of: ME
You taught me the importance of family
I only wish I had been a better student
Learned the lesson faster
And spent more time with you

You have always accepted me
Loved me unconditionally
And never labeled me
That means the world to me
I never needed to censor myself
I have always felt comfortable
Telling you everything
Without fear of judgment

Thank you
For sharing your life with me
It will not be the same
Without you in it
But I want you to know
You will live forever
In my heart
Don’t be afraid

Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love
(Oct. 2001)
Not your every day "Love Ya"
More of an unspoken feeling
An "I'll love you till the day I die"
No matter what happens
No matter what you do
Unconditional love is
When you apear on my caller ID
Or I hear your voice on my machine
And I can't help but smile
It is the warm fuzzy feeling
When I hear you snoring at 3 am
It is when we don't talk for 6 months
The you call right when I'm thinking about you
Just to say, "hi"
Unconditional love is
The way you tickle me till I cry
Yet I'm disappointed when you stop
It's the way you push all my buttons
And instead of getting mad
I feel special that you know me so well
It is when we can agree to disagree
And how we never run our of things to talk about
It is why I call you when the world seems to suck
So you can remind me of the good
But most importantly
Unconditional love means
Even if I haven't seen you for thirty years
I will still think of you
Every time my life overflows with joy
