When I come to visit, I seek you out.
Catching sight of you, my delight takes flight.
A glance my way, a tiny smile flickers,
You’re a little bit shy–not quite certain.
Yes! I still love you and I always will!
You needn’t doubt, I’m on your side,
To make you happy is my aim.
To see you smile and feel secure,
Brings me joy–let’s play a game!
You’re the best and I mean it,
You’re a bright, shining light,
Who warms my heart
And tickles me inside.
Please know this, Nicholas,
My dear little man,
Auntie Gayle loves you,
You can count on me forever!
Nicholas is my nephew’s son. I really do light up when I’m around him. He is such a blessing.

/ December 15, 2011Just about the nicest kind of light there is, Gayle. I miss having little ones in my life. Think I need to get back to the museum and play docent with those kids. I took a break this year because of publishing my novel which is now out in both e-book and print!
