Wrapped up in red
and tied with silver
a small painting
you made in school
Given with a smile
and a whole lot of love
Van Gogh's Sunflowers
don't hold a torch to this
I may not be a mother
nor a sister
nor an aunt
I may not have family to visit
But ...
7 years old
you prove so well
that family do not have
to share blood

Wrapped up in red
and tied with silver
a small painting
you made in school
Given with a smile
and a whole lot of love
Van Gogh's Sunflowers
don't hold a torch to this
I may not be a mother
nor a sister
nor an aunt
I may not have family to visit
But ...
7 years old
you prove so well
that family do not have
to share blood
