To my beloved nephew. The one who changed my way of looking at the world.

Your laugh is contagious

One that I could listen to for hours

Your smile steals the souls

Of strangers passing by

And my, the souls you have to count

The flawless curls of your hair

Is envied by women around the world

And you are fine without it

You run as if free from worldly things

Running to satisfy your lungs

Instead of running from pain

Innocence is the aura of you

Drawing people near because they want

Everything you are

Your best friend is a doll

One that many a child has

Sleepless goes the night with its absence

Recovering quickly to its presence

You taught me how to live

Forgetting easily what needs to be done

Focusing on the here and now

We play, losing track of time

My heart is filled with love for you

As any girl this lucky would feel

I pray you grow up good

With the same innocence

The same mind of the world

That it means nothing compared

To the love in your heart

The world will only cause one thing

Fault.
