Like the Summer of ‘06
He had a niece, she
Was prone to error
And threw spaghetti
She was a terror
Cute as a button
When wearing mittens
She pushed your buttons
When petting kittens
He has a niece now
Grown and thoughtful
A woman beautiful
And he is grateful
Strong as a person
Wearing a burden
Standing beside me
And I’m besides me
On August 16
There’s something missing
I think it is me
Missing my niece
