The innocence of children so dear to my heart

How sweet they smell when doing their part

A simple story here I will share

Of my niece so small but large to compare

We played makeovers last night

She did my hair and make-up oh what a sight!

I painted her up like a little brown kitten

And played games with her – oh how I am smitten

With this glitter of joy who lights up my life

And makes me forget about all of my strife

She giggles like magic all fears go away

Hugs you and kisses you she loves to play

Her smile is electric – I tickle her for fun

And when she gets up she starts to run

I chase her about all through the house

And catch her again squeaking like a mouse

My niece is precious a sight to be seen

Most of all she thinks her aunt is a Queen!
