I remember rubbing you from your mother’s womb <br />Every minute she’d bawl for her belly saying “this pain ah kill me”! <br />With gentle hands I tickled your tummy <br />With loving hands I massaged your feet <br />With caring thoughts I rubbed your forehead <br />Not knowing you were in there saying thank you, Aunty! <br /> <br />Your journey to this world must have been lonesome <br />Bored in this dark and lonely thing, nothing to do nor see <br />But somehow you knew you were not alone <br />You knew this was not your permanent residence <br />That you would someday be free… <br />And mommy would no longer be in suspense <br /> <br />The day came when you were finally here! <br />Fear left and our hearts were filled with cheer <br />The sky, swollen with emotions from St.Kitts, Tortola and England! <br />You accomplished more work in 9 months than many do in their lifetime <br />You made mothers- grandmothers and siblings-uncles and aunts <br />You made grandmothers-great grandmothers and aunties and uncles -great <br /> <br />Although I haven’t seen you in person my Dearest Nephew <br />I look forward to holding, bathing, feeding and playing with you <br />To seeing you cry and making you laugh <br />Now 5 months and already a little man <br />But until then…see you soon, <br />Your biggest fan… <br />Aunty Chantal<br /><br />Chantal Gumbs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-dearest-nephew/
