A Nephew As A Gift

She game a gift that I couldn't give myself,

The love of a baby boy so sweet.

It was hard to accept at first,

But, in the end he is my reason to live.



He brings back moments that I lost,

Making our futures seem brighter.

Nothing can replace a gift like that,

Only the thought of heaven's light.



Year after year he grows taller,

And he matures into a young man.

Being here to watch such a miracle,

Makes me want to do all I can.



He has changed her in great ways,

She now flourishes in delight.

Turning a world into roses,

She didn't even know how it might.



He has made us all proud of him,

A miracle in the making as days pass.

I could never return the favor,

Giving back such a great gift.
