My little niece so small and sweet
With a smile so bright
And tiny button feet
My heats delight
Oh what a treat
I never knew love
Until you I did meet

There for you I will always be
I will dust you off when you scrape your knee
And my heart will sing when you smile with glee

My little niece so small and sweet
With a smile so bright
And tiny button feet
My hearts delight
Oh what a treat
I never understood love
Until you I did meet

The bluest of skies

I saw her last month playing in the park
Her laughter brought light to my dark
I will always remember the joy in her ocean eyes
bluer than the bluest of skies

I saw her last week with mom's new guy
The tight grip on her arm made her cry
I will always remember the pain in her eyes
The bruises that replaced her bluest of skies

I did not see her this week in her usual spot
But I did see mommy with a needle and heroine shot
She said the kid is fine, and many more lies
To brush me off so...

She paints with sorrow
she paints with fun
she paints with the sun
she paints with the birds
she is an artist and she paints with her words

Bluest of skies
Brightest sun
A mother softly cries
For her lifeless son

Bluest of skies
Summer fun
Child’s frightened cries
Silenced by his father’s gun

Vacant eyes
Distant gaze
Our bluest skies
Her darkest days
